Scope
This International Standard specifies the reference method for the enumeration of micro-organisms present in meat and meat products by counting the colonies growing in a solid medium after incubating aerobically at 30 °C. It has been drafted in con- formity with ISO 4833, Microbiology
— General guidance for enumeration of micro-organisms
— Colony count technique at 30 °C.
A limitation on the applicability of this International Standard is imposed by the method’s susceptibility to a large degree of variability. The method should be applied and the results inter- preted in the light of the information given in 10.2.
