Microbiology of the food chain - Carcass sampling for microbiological analysis (ISO 17604:2015)
This International Standard specifies sampling methods for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms on the surface of carcasses or parts of carcasses of freshly slaughtered meat animals. The microbiological sampling can be carried out as part of:
- process hygiene control (to validate and or verify process control e.g. total counts and Enterobacteriaceae) in slaughter establishments for large red-meat animals, poultry and game;
- risk-based assurance systems for product safety; and
- monitoring and surveillance programmes for the prevalence and/or numbers of pathogenic microorganisms.
This International Standard includes the use of excision and swabbing techniques depending on the reason for sample collection. It also includes the use of carcass rinsing for the examination of carcasses of poultry and some other small animals.
Annex A shows sampling sites on the carcasses of various animal species.

Microbiologie de la chaîne alimentaire - Prélèvement d'échantillons sur des carcasses en vue de leur analyse microbiologique (ISO 17604:2015)
ISO 17604:2015 spécifie les méthodes de prélèvement relatives à la détection et au dénombrement de micro-organismes sur la surface de carcasses ou de parties de carcasses d'animaux à viande abattus. Le prélèvement microbiologique peut être effectué dans le cadre de:
? contrôles d'hygiène des procédés (pour valider ou vérifier le contrôle du procédé, par exemple le dénombrement total et les Enterobacteriaceae) dans les abattoirs destinés aux grands mammifères, aux volailles et au gibier;
? systèmes d'assurance de la sécurité des produits basés sur la maîtrise des dangers; et
? programmes de contrôle ou de surveillance relatifs à la prévalence et/ou au nombre de micro-organismes pathogènes.
ISO 17604:2015 comprend l'utilisation de techniques d'excision et d'écouvillonnage en fonction de l'objectif du prélèvement d'échantillons. Elle inclut également l'utilisation de la technique du rinçage des carcasses en vue de l'examen de carcasses de volailles et de certains petits animaux. L'Annexe A illustre les sites de prélèvement sur les carcasses de plusieurs espèces animales.
Mikrobiologija v prehranski verigi - Vzorčenje trupov živali za mikrobiološke analize (ISO 17604:2015)
Ta mednarodni standard določa metode vzorčenja za ugotavljanje prisotnosti in števila mikroorganizmov na površini trupov ali delov trupov sveže zaklanih mesnih živali. Mikrobiološko vzorčenje se lahko izvede kot del: – higienskega nadzora postopka (za potrditev in/ali preverjanje nadzora postopka, na primer skupnega števila in enterobakterij) v klavnicah za velike živali z rdečim mesom, perutnino in divjačino; – sistemov zagotavljanja varnosti proizvodov, ki temeljijo na oceni tveganja in – programov spremljanja in nadzora razširjenosti in/ali števila patogenih mikroorganizmov. Ta mednarodni standard vključuje uporabo tehnik izrezovanja in odvzema brisov, odvisno od razloga za jemanje vzorcev. To vključuje tudi izpiranje trupov za pregled trupov perutnine in nekaterih drugih malih živali. Dodatek A prikazuje mesta vzorčenja na trupih različnih živalskih vrst.

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 (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

Introduction
It is generally agreed that the determination of microbial counts and the prevalence and/or numbers
of pathogenic microorganisms on carcasses is essential for validation and verification in risk-based
slaughter hygiene assurance systems [e.g. those employing the hazard analysis critical control points
(HACCP) principles and quality assurance systems].
Moreover, many laboratories are involved in (regional, national, and international) monitoring or
surveillance programmes on the prevalence and/or counts of pathogenic microorganisms to gather
information for risk assessment. The design of such monitoring and surveillance programmes will
benefit from the use of standardized and internationally accepted sampling procedures.
A harmonized sampling method, as described in this International Standard, can also be of interest for
trade in meat and meat products.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17604:2015(E)
Microbiology of the food chain — Carcass sampling for
microbiological analysis
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies sampling methods for the detection and enumeration of
microorganisms on the surface of carcasses or parts of carcasses of slaughtered meat animals. The
microbiological sampling can be carried out as part of
— process hygiene control (to validate and or verify process control, e.g. total counts and
Enterobacteriaceae) in slaughter establishments for large mammals, poultry, and game,
— risk-based assurance systems for product safety, and
— monitoring or surveillance programmes for the prevalence and/or numbers of pathogenic
microorganisms.
This International Standard includes the use of excision and swabbing techniques depending on the reason
for sample collection. It also includes the use of carcass rinsing for the examination of carcasses of poultry
and some small animals. Annex A shows sampling sites on the carcasses of various animal species.

3.10
swabbing method
technique using absorbent material attached to the end of a stick or wire, or a sponge or piece of
absorbent material, to pick up microorganisms from surfaces
4 General principles
The choice of sampling method depends mainly on the aim of the microbiological examination, the
sensitivity required, and practical considerations. Excision, swabbing, and rinsing methods may be
used, as permitted by this International Standard.
The excision of surface tissue generally harvests a higher number of microorganisms from the surface
than other methods. Not all the microorganisms harvested will grow on the media and under the
incubation conditions used. The repeatability and reproducibility of excision and rinsing methods are
less variable than swabbing, because swabbing methods are more difficult to standardize.
However, only a small proportion of the carcass is sampled by excision methods, which might result in
significant inaccuracies when total contamination is low and heterogeneously distributed, or when the
presence of the target microorganisms is sparse. Excision methods are destructive, and can sometimes
affect the value of the meat, but are preferred when sampling frozen surfaces.
Swabbing or rinsing techniques enable the examination of larger areas. Smaller areas targeting verified
areas of greatest contamination may be examined using either excision or swabbing methods. Rinsing
the whole carcass is an effective and practicable method for the examination of poultry (excluding large
bird carcasses) and carcasses of some small mammals and other small animals.
5 Sampling plans
Sampling plans should relate to the purpose of testing and be applied according to the circumstances.
They are not considered in detail.
