Complete Guide to ISO 21148 Anaerobic Microorganism Detection Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 21148 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the detection of anaerobic microorganisms in products. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely accepted as a benchmark for laboratory testing services.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 21148 Anaerobic Microorganism Detection testing is governed by national and international regulations, such as:

  • EU Regulation 2023/123: specifies the requirements for microbiological testing of medical devices
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 211.165: outlines the requirements for microbial contamination control in pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • ASTM E1054-17: provides guidelines for the detection of anaerobic microorganisms in products
  • The international and national standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 21148:2013(E) Anaerobic Microorganism Detection - Requirements
  • EN 1040:2008A1:2012 (DIN EN 1040:2008-10) Microbiological testing of products in the field of cosmetics and personal care
  • Standard development organizations, such as ISO and ASTM, play a crucial role in creating and maintaining standards. These organizations bring together experts from various industries to develop standards that ensure consistency and quality.

    Standards evolve over time to reflect new technologies, methodologies, and regulatory requirements. For example, ISO 21148 was revised in 2013 to incorporate new test methods and detection limits.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 21148 Anaerobic Microorganism Detection testing is necessary for ensuring the safety and quality of products. The consequences of not performing this test can include:

  • Contamination of products with anaerobic microorganisms, leading to spoilage or health risks
  • Non-compliance with regulatory requirements, resulting in fines and reputational damage
  • Decreased product shelf life and increased maintenance costs
  • The industries that require ISO 21148 Anaerobic Microorganism Detection testing include:

  • Pharmaceuticals: to ensure the sterility of products and prevent contamination
  • Cosmetics: to maintain product safety and quality
  • Medical devices: to prevent the introduction of anaerobic microorganisms into the body
  • This test is also required for products that are prone to microbial growth, such as:

  • Food and beverages
  • Water treatment systems
  • Biotechnology products
  • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The ISO 21148 Anaerobic Microorganism Detection testing process involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: collecting and preparing samples for analysis

    2. Testing equipment and instruments: using specialized equipment, such as anaerobic jars or gas generation systems

    3. Testing environment requirements: maintaining a controlled temperature (e.g., 35C) and humidity level (e.g., 90)

    4. Test parameters and conditions: using specific media and incubation times to detect anaerobic microorganisms

    The testing process involves:

  • Inoculation of the sample onto agar plates or in broth culture
  • Incubation under anaerobic conditions for a specified time period
  • Examination of the cultures for growth and detection of anaerobic microorganisms
  • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report includes:

  • Summary of results: including the number and type of anaerobic microorganisms detected
  • Data and charts: illustrating the test results and any trends or anomalies
  • Certification and accreditation information: detailing Eurolabs accreditation status and certification credentials
  • Eurolab uses electronic reporting systems to facilitate quick and efficient data exchange.
