ISO 22000 Trace Metal Analysis in Processed Vegetable Products: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The food industry is subject to strict regulations and standards to ensure the safety and quality of processed vegetable products. One critical aspect of this testing is the analysis for trace metals, which can have detrimental effects on human health if present in excessive amounts. ISO 22000:2018 is a widely recognized standard that outlines the requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS). This article will delve into the relevant standards governing ISO 22000 Trace Metal Analysis in Processed Vegetable Products testing and provide an overview of the legal and regulatory framework surrounding this laboratory test.

International Standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing international standards. The following are some of the key standards related to ISO 22000 Trace Metal Analysis in Processed Vegetable Products:

  • ISO 22000:2018: Food safety management systems Requirements for any organization in the food chain

  • ISO/TS 22005:2007: Food safety management systems Traceability in the feed and food chain

  • ISO/TS 22002-1:2009: Food safety management systems Practical guidance for the application of ISO 22000

  • ISO/TS 22004:2005: Food safety management systems Vocabulary

    • National Standards

    In addition to international standards, national standards also play a crucial role in regulating food safety and quality. Some notable national standards include:

  • EN ISO 22000:2018: Food safety management systems Requirements for any organization in the food chain (European Union)

  • ASTM E2531-08: Standard practice for sampling and testing of food products

  • TSE 17025: Accreditation criteria for testing and calibration laboratories (Turkey)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) are responsible for creating, maintaining, and promoting standards. Some prominent SDOs include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

  • Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN)

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to address new challenges, technologies, and regulatory requirements. New standards are developed by SDOs through a consensus-based process involving industry experts, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.
