ISO 21872 Detection of Vibrio spp.

Comprehensive Guide to ISO 21872 Detection of Vibrio spp. Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

ISO 21872 is an international standard for the detection of Vibrio spp., a group of bacteria that can cause various diseases in humans and animals. This standard is essential for laboratories, industries, and regulatory bodies to ensure public health and safety.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 21872 testing is governed by national and international standards. In Europe, for example, the European Unions (EU) Directive on Food Safety (2004/41/EC) requires that food producers implement a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system to control hazards, including bacterial contamination.

The ISO 21872 standard is based on the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) and is recognized globally. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing standards, while national standards organizations, such as EN (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), and TSE (Turkish Standards Institution), develop and publish standards specific to their regions.

Eurolab, as a recognized laboratory testing service provider, is committed to adhering to international and national standards related to ISO 21872. Our team of experts ensures that all testing services meet or exceed the requirements outlined in the standard.
