Microbiology of the food chain - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations (ISO/FDIS 7218:2024)

This document specifies general requirements and gives guidance on microbiological examinations.
It is applicable to:
—     the implementation of specific horizontal or vertical International Standards developed by ISO/TC 34/SC 9 or ISO/TC 34/SC 5 for detection or enumeration of microorganisms, named hereafter “specific standards”;
—     good laboratory practices for microbiology laboratories testing samples from the food chain;
—     guidance for microbiological laboratories testing samples from the food chain on the technical requirements for conforming to ISO/IEC 17025.
The requirements of this general standard supersede corresponding ones in existing specific standards.
Additional instructions for examinations using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are specified in ISO 22174.
This document is applicable to examinations for bacteria, yeasts and moulds and can be used, if supplemented with specific guidance, for parasites and viruses. It does not apply to examinations for toxins or other metabolites (e.g. amines) from microorganisms.
This document is applicable to microbiology of the food chain, from primary production stage to food and animal feed products, including the premises where the food or feed production and handling takes place. It is also applicable to the microbiological examination of water where water is used in food production or is regarded as a food in national legislation.

Mikrobiologie der Lebensmittelkette - Allgemeine Anforderungen und Leitlinien für mikrobiologische Untersuchungen (ISO/FDIS 7218:2024)

In diesem Dokument werden allgemeine Anforderungen festgelegt und Leitlinien für mikrobiologische Untersuchungen bereitgestellt.
Es ist anwendbar auf:
   die praktische Anwendung von durch ISO TC 34/SC 9 oder ISO TC 34/SC 5 entwickelten spezifischen horizontalen oder vertikalen internationalen Normen für den Nachweis oder die Zählung von Mikroorganismen, im Folgenden „spezifische Normen“ genannt;
   die Gute Laborpraxis für mikrobiologische Labore, die Proben aus der Lebensmittelkette untersuchen;
   Leitlinien für mikrobiologische Labore, in denen Proben aus der Lebensmittelkette hinsichtlich der technischen Anforderungen zur Einhaltung der ISO/IEC 17025 untersucht werden.
Die Anforderungen in dieser allgemeinen Norm ersetzen die entsprechenden Anforderungen in den bestehenden spezifischen Normen.
Zusätzliche Anweisungen für Untersuchungen unter Anwendung der Polymerase-Kettenreaktion (PCR) sind in ISO 22174 festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf die Untersuchung von Bakterien, Hefen und Schimmelpilzen und kann bei entsprechender Ergänzung um die spezifischen Anleitungen auf Parasiten und Viren angewendet werden. Es ist nicht anwendbar auf die Untersuchung von Toxinen oder sonstigen Stoffwechselprodukten (z. B. Amine) von Mikroorganismen.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf die Mikrobiologie der Lebensmittelkette, von der Primärproduktion bis hin zu Lebens- und Futtermittelprodukten, einschließlich der Räumlichkeiten, in denen die Herstellung und Handhabung von Lebensmitteln oder Futtermitteln stattfindet. Es ist darüber hinaus anwendbar auf die mikrobiologische Untersuchung von Wasser, wenn Wasser in der Lebensmittelproduktion verwendet wird oder in nationalen Rechtsvorschriften als Lebensmittel gilt.

Microbiologie de la chaîne alimentaire - Exigences générales et recommandations pour les examens microbiologiques (ISO/FDIS 7218:2024)

Le présent document spécifie des exigences générales et donne des recommandations relatives aux examens microbiologiques.
Il couvre:
—     l’application des normes internationales horizontales ou verticales spécifiques élaborées par l’ISO/TC 34/SC 9 ou l’ISO/TC 34/SC 5 pour la détection ou le dénombrement des micro-organismes, nommées ci-après «normes spécifiques»;
—     les bonnes pratiques de laboratoire pour les laboratoires de microbiologie soumettant à essai des échantillons issus de la chaîne alimentaire;
—     les recommandations destinées aux laboratoires de microbiologie soumettant à essai des échantillons issus de la chaîne alimentaire concernant les exigences techniques conformément à l’ISO/IEC 17025.
Les exigences de la présente norme générale prennent le pas sur les exigences correspondantes des normes spécifiques existantes.
Des instructions supplémentaires concernant les examens ayant recours à la réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) sont spécifiées dans l’ISO 22174.
Le présent document est applicable aux examens des bactéries, des levures et des moisissures et peut être utilisé s’il est complété par des recommandations spécifiques, pour les examens des parasites et des virus. Il ne s’applique pas aux examens des toxines ou autres métabolites (par exemple, les amines) provenant de micro-organismes.
Le présent document est applicable à la microbiologie de la chaîne alimentaire, du stade de la production primaire aux produits alimentaires pour la consommation humaine et pour les animaux, y compris les locaux de production et de manutention des aliments ou aliments pour animaux. Il peut également s’appliquer à l’examen microbiologique de l’eau si celle-ci est utilisée dans la production alimentaire ou si la législation nationale la considère comme un aliment.
