of alternative, mostly proprietary, methods for microbiology in the food chain. Validation studies
according to this part of ISO 16140 are intended to be performed by organizations involved in method
validation.
This part of ISO 16140 is applicable to the validation of methods for the analysis (detection or
quantification) of microorganisms in
— products intended for human consumption,
— products intended for animal feeding,
— environmental samples in the area of food and feed production, handling, and
