Microbiology of the food chain - Carcass sampling for microbiological analysis (ISO 17604:2015)

ISO 17604:2015 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.

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.
