ISO 5492 : 1992 (EM)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bedies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires
approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 5492 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34,
Agricultural food products, Sub-Committee SC 12, Sensory analysis.
This first edition
cancels and replaces ISO 5492-1 : 1977, ISO 5492-2 : 1978,
ISO 5492-3 : 1979, ISO 5492-4 : 1981, ISO 5492-5 : 1983 and ISO 5492-6 : 1985, of
which it constitutes a minor revision and extension.
Avant-propos
L ’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une federation mondiale
d ’organismes nationaux de normalisation (comites membres de I ’ISO). L ’elaboration
des Normes internationales est en general confiee aux comites techniques de I ’ISO.
Chaque comite membre interesse par une etude a Ie droit de faire Partie du comite
technique cr& a cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec I ’ISO participent egalement aux travaux. L ’ISO
collabore etroitement avec Ia Commission electrotechnique internationale (GEI) en ce
qui concerne Ia normalisation electrotechnique.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptes par les comites techniques sont soumis
aux comites membres pour vote. Leur publication comme Normes internationales
requiert I ’approbation de 75 % au moins des comites membres votants.
