OECD Consensus Document: GM Oilseed Rape Composition Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The OECD Consensus Document on the Composition of GM Oilseed Rape is a comprehensive document that outlines the safety assessment requirements for genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape. This document provides guidance to regulatory authorities, industry stakeholders, and researchers on the evaluation of GM oilseed rape products.

Relevant Standards

Several international and national standards govern the testing and evaluation of GM oilseed rape. Some of the key standards include:

  • ISO 22000:2018 - Food Safety Management Systems
  • ASTM E2879-12(2017) - Standard Guide for Conducting a Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) for Human Food
  • EN 13940:2006 - Seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) - Sampling
  • TSE 1242:2013 - Oilseeds - Determination of oil content
  • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The OECD Consensus Document on the Composition of GM Oilseed Rape is a key reference document for regulatory authorities worldwide. The document outlines the requirements for safety assessment, including:
