Sensory analysis — Methodology — General guidance for conducting hedonic tests with consumers in a controlled area

ISO 11136:2014 describes approaches for measuring, within a controlled area, the degree to which consumers like or relatively like products.

It uses tests based on collecting consumers' responses to questions, generally on paper or via a keyboard or a touch screen. Tests of a behavioural nature (such as recording quantities consumed ad libitum by the consumers) do not fall within the scope of ISO 11136:2014.
