Comprehensive Guide to ISO 24475 Microbiological Assessment of Preserved Raw Materials Laboratory Testing Service

Introduction

In the realm of laboratory testing, ensuring the safety and quality of preserved raw materials is of utmost importance. The ISO 24475 standard provides a framework for microbiological assessment of these materials, guaranteeing their compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. As a leading provider of laboratory testing services, Eurolab offers expert support in this area.

Standard Overview

The ISO 24475 standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to provide guidelines for microbiological assessment of preserved raw materials. This standard is essential for industries that handle and process these materials, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

Preserved raw materials are subject to various regulations and laws, which dictate the testing requirements. Some key regulatory bodies include:

  • European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

  • United States FDA

  • World Health Organization (WHO)

    • These organizations establish guidelines for microbiological assessment, ensuring that preserved raw materials meet safety standards.

    International and National Standards

    The ISO 24475 standard is based on various international and national standards. Some relevant standards include:

  • ISO 11133:2008 (Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs)

  • ASTM E1829-09 (Standard guide for conducting microbiological analyses of raw materials)

  • EN ISO 11133:2014 (Microbiological examination of foodstuffs)

    • These standards provide a framework for testing preserved raw materials, ensuring consistency and accuracy across industries.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in creating and maintaining industry standards. Some key organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • These organizations collaborate with industry experts, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders to develop and revise standards.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards are continuously updated to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulations, and emerging trends. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments, ensuring our testing services meet evolving requirements.
