Mc2 (Megaron Athens International Conference Center)
After a short introduction of all the ISO 16140 series, the presentation will focus mainly on the Part 3, which is fully dedicated to routine laboratories. The Part 3 will provide the technical protocols for the implementation and verification of reference and alternative methods. Many accreditation bodies and food business operators (FBO) are waiting for that Part 3 of the ISO 16140 standard. The study designs are now available for both qualitative and quantitative methods, but intensive discussions are still going on at the international level regarding the selection and the number of the matrices to be tested, the required inoculation levels, the data interpretations.
The session will be a wonderful opportunity to get the opinion of the FBO regarding the technical and economic aspects of the developed approach.
