Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs — Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection and quantification of food-borne pathogens — Performance characteristics

Microbiologie des aliments — Réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) pour la détection et la quantification des micro-organismes pathogènes dans les aliments — Caractéristiques de performance

A new edition is under development: ISO/DIS 22118.

Abstract / scope

ISO 22118:2010 specifies minimum requirements of performance characteristics for the detection of nucleic acid sequences (DNA or RNA) by molecular methods. ISO 22118:2010 applies to the detection of food-borne pathogens in foodstuffs and isolates obtained from them using molecular detection methods based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

ISO 22118:2010 is also applicable, for example, to the detection of food-borne pathogens in environmental samples and in animal feeding stuffs.
