This European Standard provides the overall framework of qualitative and quantitative methods for the
determination of allergens and allergenic ingredients in foodstuffs using antibody-based methods. This
European Standard specifies general guidelines and performance criteria for antibody-based methods for the
detection and quantification of proteins that serve as a marker for the presence of allergy provoking foods or
food ingredients. Other methods than those described may also detect and identify the proteins. Guidelines,
minimum requirements and performance criteria laid down in the European Standard are intended to ensure
that comparable and reproducible results are obtained in different laboratories. This European Standard has
been established for food matrices.
