Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations (ISO 7218:2007)

This International Standard gives general requirements and guidance/options intended for three main uses: - implementation of ISO/TC 34/SC 9 or ISO/TC 34/SC 5 standards for detection or enumeration of microorganisms, named hereafter "specific standards"; - good laboratory practice for food microbiological laboratories (the purpose is not to detail them in this International Standard, manuals are available for that purpose); - guidance for accreditation of food microbiological laboratories (this International Standard describes the technical requirements according to Annex B of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for the accreditation of a microbiological laboratory by national organizations). The requirements of this International Standard supersede the corresponding ones of existing specific standards.

Mikrobiologie von Lebensmitteln und Futtermitteln - Allgemeine Anforderungen und Anleitung für mikrobiologische Untersuchungen (ISO 7218:2007)

Diese Internationale Norm legt allgemeine Anforderungen fest und gibt eine Anleitung/Wahl¬möglichkeiten für die drei wesentlichen Anwendungen:
   praktische Anwendung der Normen des ISO TC 34/SC 9 oder des ISO TC 34/SC 5 für den Nachweis oder die Zählung von Mikroorganismen, im Folgenden "spezifische Normen" genannt;
   Umsetzung der Guten Laborpraxis in Laboratorien der Lebensmittelmikrobiologie (der Zweck besteht nicht darin, diese in dieser Norm ausführlich zu beschreiben; hierfür stehen Handbücher zur Verfügung);
   Anleitung zur Akkreditierung von Laboratorien der Lebensmittelmikrobiologie (diese Internationale Norm beschreibt die Technischen Anforderungen nach Anhang B von ISO/IEC 17025:2005 für die Akkreditierung eines mikrobiologischen Labors durch nationale Organisationen).
Die Anforderungen dieser Internationalen Norm ersetzen die in den bestehenden spezifischen Normen enthaltenen entsprechenden Vorschriften.
Zusätzliche Anweisungen für den Bereich der molekularbiologischen Untersuchungen sind in ISO 22174 festgelegt.
Diese Internationale Norm erstreckt sich auf die Untersuchung von Bakterien, Hefen und Schimmelpilzen und kann bei entsprechender Ergänzung um die spezifischen Anleitungen auf Prionen, Parasiten und Viren angewendet werden. Diese Internationale Norm umfasst nicht die Untersuchung von Toxinen oder sonstigen Stoffwechselprodukten (z. B. Amine) von Mikroorganismen.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt für die Mikrobiologie von Lebens  und Futtermitteln sowie für den Bereich der Herstellung von Lebensmitteln und für die Primärproduktion.
Zweck dieser Internationalen Norm ist es, zur Sicherstellung der Validität der lebensmittelmikrobiologischen Untersuchungen und der Gleichartigkeit der bei diesen Untersuchungen angewandten allgemeinen Techniken in allen Laboratorien beizutragen.

Microbiologie des aliments - Exigences générales et recommendations (ISO 7218:2007)

L'ISO 7218:2006 spécifie des exigences générales et des recommandations/options visant trois utilisations principales:
l'application des normes élaborées par l'ISO TC 34/SC 9 ou l'ISO TC 34/SC 5 pour la détection ou le dénombrement des micro-organismes;les bonnes pratiques de laboratoire pour les laboratoires de microbiologie alimentaire (la présente Norme internationale ne vise pas à les détailler, des manuels sont disponibles à cet effet);les recommandations relatives à l'agrément des laboratoires de microbiologie alimentaire (la présente Norme internationale décrit les exigences techniques conformes à l'Annexe B de l'ISO/CEI 17025:2005 relative à l'accréditation d'un laboratoire de microbiologie par les organismes nationaux).
L'ISO 7218:2006 couvre l'examen pour les bactéries, les levures et les moisissures et peut être utilisée si elle est complétée par des recommandations spécifiques sur les prions, les parasites et les virus. Elle ne traite pas de l'examen des toxines ou autres métabolites (par exemple les amines) provenant de micro-organismes.
Elle s'applique à la microbiologie des aliments, des aliments pour animaux, à l'environnement de production d'aliments et l'environnement de production primaire.
L'objet de l'ISO 7218:2006 est d'aider à garantir la validité des examens microbiologiques des aliments, s'assurer que les méthodes générales utilisées pour effectuer ces examens sont les mêmes dans tous les laboratoires, à participer ainsi à l'obtention de résultats homogènes dans les différents laboratoires et à contribuer à la sécurité du personnel de laboratoire, en prévenant les risques d'infection.

Mikrobiologija živil in krme - Splošna pravila za mikrobiološke preiskave (ISO 7218:2007)

Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje splošne zahteve in navodila/možnosti za tri glavne načine uporabe: – izvajanje standardov ISO/TC 34/SC 9 ali ISO/TC 34/SC 5 za odkrivanje in štetje mikroorganizmov, v nadaljnjem besedilu »posebni standardi«, – dobra laboratorijska praksa za mikrobiološke laboratorije za preiskave živil (teh ta mednarodni standard ne opredeljuje, za to so na voljo priročniki); –navodila za akreditacijo mikrobioloških laboratorijev za preiskave živil (ta mednarodni standard opisuje tehnične zahteve iz Dodatka B standarda ISO/IEC 17025:2005 za akreditacijo mikrobiološkega laboratorija s strani državnih organizacij). Zahteve tega mednarodnega standarda nadomeščajo ustrezne zahteve obstoječih posebnih standardov.
