Comprehensive Guide to ISO 18643 Hormone Residue Analysis in Processed Foods Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 18643 is an international standard for the analysis of hormone residues in processed foods, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard provides a comprehensive framework for the testing and detection of hormone residues in food products, ensuring the safety and quality of these products.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 18643 is governed by various international and national standards. The European Unions (EU) Food Safety Act (2002/178/EC) and the Codex Alimentarius Commissions Guidelines for Residue Analysis of Veterinary Drugs in Foods are two key regulations that govern hormone residue analysis in processed foods.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to ISO 18643:

  • ISO 18643: International Standard for the analysis of hormone residues in processed foods

  • EN 15780-1: European Standard for the detection of hormonal substances in animal products

  • TSE 1487: Turkish Standard for the detection of hormonal substances in animal products

  • ASTM E1619: American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for the analysis of hormone residues in food

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of ISO standards. These organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and publishes international standards

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops and publishes European Standards (EN)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops and publishes ASTM standards

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulatory requirements. ISO 18643 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2002.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scope apply to ISO 18643:

  • ISO 18643-1: General principles for the analysis of hormone residues in processed foods

  • ISO 18643-2: Methodology for the detection of hormonal substances in animal products

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying compliance requirements for ISO 18643. The following are some examples:

  • Food processing industry: Must comply with EU Food Safety Act and Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines

  • Pharmaceutical industry: Must comply with ASTM E1619 standard

  • Animal feed industry: Must comply with EN 15780-1 European Standard

    • Why This Test is Needed and Required

    Hormone residue analysis in processed foods is essential to ensure the safety and quality of these products. The presence of hormonal substances can have adverse effects on human health, making it crucial to detect and quantify these residues.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 18643 Testing

    The business and technical reasons for conducting ISO 18643 testing include:

  • Product safety: To ensure the safety of processed foods

  • Regulatory compliance: To comply with EU Food Safety Act, Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines, and ASTM E1619 standard

  • Quality assurance: To maintain quality standards in food processing

    • Consequences of Not Performing This Test

    Failure to conduct ISO 18643 testing can result in:

  • Product recalls: In case of non-compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Loss of customer trust: Due to concerns about product safety and quality

  • Financial penalties: Imposed by regulatory authorities for non-compliance

    • Industries and Sectors Requiring This Testing

    The following industries and sectors require ISO 18643 testing:

  • Food processing industry

  • Pharmaceutical industry

  • Animal feed industry

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    Hormone residues in processed foods can pose health risks to consumers, including:

  • Cancer: Exposure to certain hormonal substances has been linked to cancer

  • Reproductive issues: Hormonal imbalances can affect reproductive health

  • Allergic reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to hormone residues

    • Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

    ISO 18643 testing involves quality assurance and quality control measures, including:

  • Sample preparation: To ensure accurate results

  • Testing equipment calibration: Regular calibration of testing equipment to maintain accuracy

  • Data analysis: Accurate data analysis to determine hormone residue levels

    • Why This Test Contributes to Product Safety and Reliability

    ISO 18643 testing contributes to product safety and reliability by:

  • Detecting hormonal substances: Ensuring the absence or presence of hormone residues in processed foods

  • Quantifying residue levels: Determining the concentration of hormonal substances in food products

  • Maintaining quality standards: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements
