Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 21572 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 16,
Horizontal methods for molecular biomarker analysis.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21572:2004), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 21572:2004/Cor. 1:2005.

4 Principle
The POI is extracted according to the procedure described for that specific matrix, and a specific
antibody is used to detect or measure the concentration of the POI in the sample. For the detection of
specific proteins in ingredients, the basic principle of a protein-based method is to:
— take a representative sample of the matrix;
— extract the proteins;
— detect and/or quantify the POI derived from the matrix under study.
5 Reagents
During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only deionized or distilled
water or water that has been purified, or equivalent, unless indicated otherwise by the manufacturer of
the reagents or the kit.
Other reagents, such as antibodies, conjugates, substrates, stop solutions and buffer components are
method specific. Please refer to the method for specifics regarding reagents, such as protein standards
or reference materials, antibodies or pre-coated solid surfaces, controls and samples.
Reagents are specified in A.4.2, A.4.3, B.4.2 and B.4.3.
6 Laboratory equipment
Laboratory equipment is specified in A.5 and B.5.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this International Standard, although Annex A and
Annex B do provide sampling instructions according to the relevant methods. It is recommended that
the parties concerned come to an agreement on this subject.

8 Procedure
8.1 General
Storage conditions and shelf-life of lateral flow strips, antibodies, conjugates, substrates, etc. shall be
clearly specified by the provider.
Use appropriate laboratory equipment with low protein binding capacity (e.g. polypropylene tubes) to
prevent protein adsorption during the whole procedure.
For the use of this International Standard, general requirements of quality assurance for laboratories
shall be observed (e.g. concerning calibration of apparatus, double determination, blanks, use of
reference materials, preparation of calibration curves). Carefully clean all equipment coming into direct
contact with the sample to prevent contamination. See ISO/IEC 17025 for more information.
8.2 Preparation of sample solution
Once a representative sample is obtained, specific sample preparation procedures may be found in the
annexes.
Grind samples as specified in the method before test portions are taken, if necessary. Powders/flour
might have swelling properties and may require more extraction solution if a manufacturer’s method
does not specify this information. If the sample is not immediately used, follow your laboratory’s
procedure for storage (e.g. –20 °C or below).
Laboratory samples containing high amounts of fat may be nonhomogeneous and a larger test sample
should be extracted. If applicable, instructions may be found in the annexes.
Weigh an appropriate amount (as specified in the relevant annex) of a representative test sample for
analysis to create a test portion for extraction. Add extraction solution and homogenize or mix.
8.3 Extraction
Use an extraction procedure suitable for the matrix. Details of appropriate conditions for the
extraction/dilution of the test portions, controls and reference materials are provided in Annex A for ELISA
and Annex B for lateral flow strips. Care should be taken to use extraction procedures validated for the
matrix. Extracted samples should be immediately used or treated as specified in the procedure for storage.

Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 21572 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food Products, Subcommittee SC 16,
Molecular Biomarker Analysis.

Introduction
Analysis to detect genetically modified traits (GMs) and derived products can either be performed to screen,
identify or quantify GMs and their derived products in a given matrix.
For the detection of the transgenic origin of ingredients, the basic principle of a protein-based method is to:
 Take a representative sample of the matrix;
 Extract the proteins;
 Detect and/or quantify the specific protein derived from the GM(s) under study.

As new methods become validated and accepted, they will be annexed to this standard.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 21572

Foodstuffs — Molecular biomarker analysis — Protein-based
methods
1 Scope
This International Standard provides general guidelines and performance criteria for methods for the detection
and/or quantification of specific proteins derived from genetically modified (GM) plant material in a specified
matrix.
These general guidelines address existing antibody based methods. Methods other than those described in
Annex A or Annex B may also detect the protein. The same criteria as outlined in this standard generally apply.
2 Normative references
This International Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to
this International Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
