- Scope
- This part of ISO 16140 specifies the general principle and technical procedure for the validation of alternative, mostly proprietary, methods in the microbiology of the food chain. Validation studies according to this part of ISO 16140 should be carried out by organizations involved in process validation. This part of ISO 16140 is applicable to the validation of methods for the examination (detection or quantification) of microorganisms in: products intended for human consumption; products intended as animal feed; Environmental samples in the area of food and feed production and handling; Samples from the area of primary production. This part of ISO 16140 applies specifically to bacteria and fungi. Some clauses of this part of ISO 16140 are applicable to other (micro)organisms or their metabolites on a case-by-case basis. In the future, guidance for other organisms (e.g. viruses and parasites) will be included in either this or another part of ISO 16140.
