Milk and milk products — Sensory analysis — Part 3: Method for evaluation of compliance with product specifications for sensory properties by scoring

This document specifies a general method for evaluation of compliance with product specifications for sensory properties based on sensory scoring and the use of a common nomenclature of terms. The method is especially applicable in process and quality control performed regularly on a larger number of samples and/or with some time pressure and/or with a limited number of expert assessors available. The results from the method can be part of product classification systems for domestic and international trade. This document does not apply to classification systems.

Lait et produits laitiers — Analyse sensorielle — Partie 3: Méthode d’évaluation de la conformité aux spécifications de produit pour les propriétés sensorielles par notation

Le présent document spécifie une méthode générale d’évaluation de la conformité des propriétés sensorielles aux spécifications de produit fondée sur la notation et l’utilisation d’une nomenclature commune de termes. La méthode s’applique surtout lors du contrôle des procédés et de la qualité effectué régulièrement sur un nombre relativement important d’échantillons et/ou avec des contraintes de temps et/ou en présence d’un nombre limité de sujets experts. Les résultats obtenus par la méthode peuvent faire partie de systèmes de classification des produits pour le commerce intérieur et international. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux systèmes de classification.

Mleko in mlečni izdelki - Senzorična analiza - 3. del: Metoda ocenjevanja skladnosti proizvoda s specifikacijami za senzorične lastnosti s točkovanjem (ISO 22935-3:2023)

Standard ISO 22935-3 | IDF 99-3 podaja smernice v zvezi s splošno metodo ocenjevanja skladnosti proizvoda s specifikacijami za senzorične lastnosti na podlagi senzoričnega točkovanja in določa enotno poimenovanje izrazov.
Metoda se zlasti uporablja pri nadzorovanju procesov in kakovosti, ki se redno izvaja za večje število vzorcev in/ali z določenim časovnim pritiskom in/ali z omejenim številom razpoložljivih strokovnih ocenjevalcev.
Rezultati metode so lahko del sistemov za klasifikacijo proizvodov v okviru notranje in mednarodne trgovine. Sistemi za klasifikacijo niso zajeti v standardu ISO 22935-3 | IDF 99-3.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each 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, governmental 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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22935-3 | IDF 99-3:2009), which has
been technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the Normative references have been updated;
— procedures have been adjusted to align with ISO 20613:2019 in that there is now an opening for
using variation in scale definitions, and not only using the 1 to 5 point scale.
