Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16338:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 275 “Food
analysis - Horizontal methods”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
1 Scope
This Technical Report describes necessary information for method providers which needs to be provided with
proposals for new work items for consideration in CEN/TC 275/WG 12 "Food allergens".
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 15633-1:2009, Foodstuffs — Detection of food allergens by immunological methods — Part 1: General
considerations
EN 15634-1:2009, Foodstuffs — Detection of food allergens by molecular biological methods — Part 1:
General considerations.
EN 15842:2010, Foodstuffs — Detection of food allergens — General considerations and validation of
methods
ISO 5725-1:1994, Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results — Part 1: General
principles and definitions
3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations
For the purpose of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 15633-1:2009, EN 15634-1:2009 and
EN 15842:2010 apply.
4 Necessary elements for method applications
Each method should include:
a) general information (e. g. title, purpose, relevance and scientific basis, scope and test principle);
b) a detailed description of the method (e. g. reagents, equipment, procedure, calculations, reporting);
c) validation and performance criteria.
All necessary elements for immunological and molecular biological methods are given in Annex A and Annex
B respectively.
5 Estimation of measurement uncertainty
Uncertainty arises from many sources, including the size of the laboratory sample, sampling of the test sample
from the laboratory sample, measurement of the allergen concentration in the extracts, etc. An estimate of the
measurement uncertainty for each matrix in the area of application will be estimated either from intra/inter-
laboratory study data, or from estimates of the components as described by ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008 [1] and
ISO 5725-2:1994 [2].
6 Physical/environmental conditions
Specify conditions (if there are special environmental conditions for performing the analysis), such as normal
laboratory conditions, or use of a cold room, performance of certain steps at specific temperatures etc.
7 Instrument calibration
Instruments should be calibrated as specified in EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 [3].
8 Safety precautions/safety measures
Describe any particular safety measures (not including country/region specific issues) that shall be brought to
the attention of the analyst.
9 Pollution prevention/waste disposal
The best, most appropriate local practices shall be adhered to.
10 Appendices
The method shall include such diagrams and tables as are necessary for use by the analyst as informative
data from the internal validation study and informative data from the collaborative trial.
