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).

IDF (the International Dairy Federation) is a non-profit private sector organization representing the
interests of various stakeholders in dairying at the global level. IDF members are organized in National
Committees, which are national associations composed of representatives of dairy-related national
interest groups including dairy farmers, dairy processing industry, dairy suppliers, academics and
governments/food control authorities.
ISO and IDF collaborate closely on all matters of standardization relating to methods of analysis
and sampling for milk and milk products. Since 2001, ISO and IDF jointly publish their International
Standards using the logos and reference numbers of both organizations.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. IDF 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

Introduction
The purpose of the ISO 22935 | IDF 99 series is to give guidance on methodology for sensory analysis
and the use of a common nomenclature of terms for milk and milk products.
To achieve that, the ISO 22935 | IDF 99 series is divided into three parts.
ISO 6658 should be consulted for an overview of sensory methods other than the one provided in
ISO 22935-3 | IDF 99-3.
The principles described are largely derived from various International Standards on the topic.
It is important that safety issues are handled during sensory evaluations (see ISO 20613).

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

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
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5,
Milk and milk products, and the International Dairy Federation (IDF). It is being published jointly by ISO
and IDF.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22935-1 | IDF 99-1:2009), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the Normative references have been updated;
— a few changes have been made to reference materials.
A list of all parts in the ISO 22935 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

IDF 99-1:2023(E)
IDF (the International Dairy Federation) is a non-profit private sector organization representing the
interests of various stakeholders in dairying at the global level. IDF members are organized in National
Committees, which are national associations composed of representatives of dairy-related national
interest groups including dairy farmers, dairy processing industry, dairy suppliers, academics and
governments/food control authorities.
ISO and IDF collaborate closely on all matters of standardization relating to methods of analysis
and sampling for milk and milk products. Since 2001, ISO and IDF jointly publish their International
Standards using the logos and reference numbers of both organizations.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. IDF 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

This document was prepared by the IDF Standing Committee on Statistics and Automation and ISO
Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5, Milk and milk products. It is being

The work was carried out by the IDF/ISO Action Team S17 of the Standing Committee on Statistics and
Automation under the aegis of its project leader Dr H. Kraggerud (NO).

Introduction
The purpose of the ISO 22935 | IDF 99 series is to give guidance on methodology for sensory analysis
and the use of a common nomenclature of terms for milk and milk products.
To achieve that, the ISO 22935 | IDF 99 series is divided into three parts.
ISO 6658 should be consulted for an overview of sensory methods other than the one provided in
ISO 22935-3 | IDF 99-3.
The principles described are largely derived from various International Standards on the topic.
It is important that safety issues are handled during sensory evaluations (see ISO 20613).
