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.

Introduction
Any quantitative measurement in microbiology should consider that there is a requirement for the
microbiological state in a sample to be regarded as one point within the co-ordinates of a multidimensional
system, which is to be projected on to the one-dimensional scale of the method applied, i.e. plate count,
flow cytometry. Aspects such as flora (types and numbers of microorganisms and their distribution),
growth phase, sub-lethal damage, metabolic activity, and history, influence to a greater or lesser extent
any parameter that is measured. It is evident that any projection of an n-dimensional situation on to an
one-dimensional scale is bound to provide a picture of the real situation that is rather restricted. In this
respect one has to bow to the inevitable, regardless of which method of measurement is preferred.
The term reference (or official or anchor) method in this International Standard means a method
internationally recognized by experts, used in legislation or by agreement between the parties. There
are requirements for evaluation of an alternative method to refer to the reference method and to be
based on the examination of suitable samples for its intended use.

Reference [1]).

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced

ISO 8196-1|IDF 128-1, and ISO 16140-1.
4 Transformation of results
A prerequisite for statistics most common in the evaluation of measuring methods is the approximation
of a normal distribution of the data. The exponential multiplication of microorganisms usually leads to
a right-tailed distribution of quantitative microbiological parameters. Thus, in general, transformation
of the raw data is necessary for approximation of normality. This is usually a common logarithmic
transformation or a square root transformation for low bacteria levels. The most appropriate
transformation can be checked by comparing histograms. All statistics are then computed from the

transformed data, unless specified otherwise, and only the final results are re-transformed to give a
more expressive idea of the situation to the user (see also Annex A).
5 Attributes of the alternative method
NOTE The parameters outlined in this clause do not need to be evaluated completely for every alternative
method. For example, the measuring range (see 5.2) of the plate loop method is determined by the loop(s) used.
5.1 Description of the method to be evaluated
5.1.1 Description
The description of the method under study shall be in line with the checklist in 5.1.2.
Most of the information is found in the specification of the method given by the responsible supplier or
any other source (author) of the technique specified.
5.1.2 Checklist
a) Principle of the method.
b) Parameter or unit.
c) Technical design of the measurement procedure.
d) Field of application:
1) purpose: e.g. research, screening, milk grading;
2) matrix: e.g. raw milk from cows.
e) Supplier(s) of instrument, reagents, standards.
f) Specification of the method given by the producer or the author:
1) prerequisites for sampling (often compared to the situation of fat analysis);
2) possibilities for sample preservation [reagent(s), storage condition(s)];
3) quantitative (units: method under study or reference method) and qualitative (the kind of
microorganisms covered) spectrum;
4) precision (in units of the method under study or in reference method units);
5) accuracy of the estimate (in reference method units);
6) samples per hour;
7) list of references.
5.2 Measuring range
5.2.1 Lower limit of quantification
The lower limit of quantification is defined as the average of milk without bacteria plus the n-fold of its
standard deviation; generally, n = 10. See also ISO 16140-2.
Analyse milk without bacteria or with a very low concentration of bacteria. Transform data by calculating
square root from each result. Calculate the mean, x , and the standard deviation, s, of the transformed
results. Calculate the lower limit of quantification as xn+ s .

5.2.2 Upper limit of quantification
The upper limit of quantification is determined by the highest possible reading of the method or by
methodological limitations, e.g. coincidence effects, inaccuracy in the upper measuring range, clogging
of filters. Coincidence is when two or more elements of the measurand are detected simultaneously and
identified as only one unit. For example, with flow cytometry, if two bacterial cells pass the detector
simultaneously, they are detected as one. The coincidence effect is higher with higher concentrations
of a measurand.
Upper limit of quantification is determined as the highest concentration where the instrument is still
linear according to 5.2.3.
5.2.3 Linearity of the instrument signal
The relationship between the instrument readings and the expected values shall be linear within the
concerned range of bacterial counts. Deviations from linearity may stem from non-specific signals and
coincidence effects.
A linearity check is at first performed visually using appropriate graphs to obtain an impression of the
shape of the relationship. Whenever deviation from linearity appears evident, a quantitative parameter
is calculated to indicate whether the observed trend is acceptable or not.
To achieve this, use a high bacterial count milk diluted serially with low bacterial count milk, resulting
in a set of at least 10 samples covering the concentration range of interest.
Measure all samples at least four times and calculate the average result for each sample. This gives the
measured value per sample. Use the measured values for the high count milk and the low count milk to
calculate values for the intermediate samples from the applied mixing ratios. This results in an expected
value for each sample. Then apply linear regression with the expected values per sample, C , on the x-axis
e
and the measured values per sample, C , on the y-axis. Calculate the residuals ΔC = C , – (
