23、anization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establi
24、shed has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardizatio
25、n. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
26、Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such pat
27、ent rights. ISO 7218 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 9, Microbiology, in collaboration with CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 275, Food analysis Horizontal methods. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7218:1996), which has been t
28、echnically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 7218:1996/Amd.1:2001.

29、ions, it is especially important that only those microorganisms which are present in the samples are isolated and enumerated; the microorganisms do not contaminate the environment. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene and to use working techniques which ensu
30、re, as far as possible, exclusion of extraneous contamination. Since, in this International Standard, it is possible to give only a few examples of the precautions to be taken during microbiological examinations, a thorough knowledge of the microbiological techniques and of the microorganisms involv
31、ed is essential. It is important that the examinations are conducted as accurately as possible, including monitoring and recording aspects that may affect results and calculation of the number of microorganisms and the uncertainty of the results. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the head of t
32、he laboratory to judge whether the manipulations are safe and can be considered to be good laboratory practice. A large number of manipulations can, for example, unintentionally lead to cross-contamination, and the analyst should always verify the accuracy of the results given by his or her techniqu
33、e. In order to conduct the examinations correctly, it is necessary to take certain precautions when constructing and equipping the laboratory. Certain precautions must be taken, not only for reasons of hygiene, but also to ensure good reproducibility of the results. It is not possible to specify all
34、 the precautions to be taken in all circumstances, but this International Standard at least provides the main measures to be taken when preparing, sterilizing, storing the media, and using the equipment. If the guidance given in this International Standard is followed, this will also contribute towa
35、rds maintaining the health and safety of personnel. Additional information on this subject is to be found in the literature listed in the Bibliography. In order to distinguish the guidance in this International Standard, it has been printed in a different typeface (Times New Roman). SANS 7218:2008Th

37、International Standard gives general requirements and guidance/options intended for three main uses: implementation of ISO/TC 34/SC 9 or ISO/TC 34/SC 5 standards for detection or enumeration of microorganisms, named hereafter “specific standards”; good laboratory practice for food microbiological la
38、boratories (the purpose is not to detail them in this International Standard, manuals are available for that purpose); guidance for accreditation of food microbiological laboratories (this International Standard describes the technical requirements according to Annex B of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for the
39、accreditation of a microbiological laboratory by national organizations). The requirements of this International Standard supersede the corresponding ones of existing specific standards. Additional instructions in the field of molecular biology examinations are specified in ISO 22174. This Internati
40、onal Standard covers examination for bacteria, yeasts and moulds and can be used if supplemented with specific guidance for prions, parasites and viruses. It does not cover the examination for toxins or other metabolites (e.g. amines) from microorganisms. This International Standard applies to the m
41、icrobiology of food, animal feeding stuffs, the food production environment and the primary production environment. The purpose of this International Standard is to help to ensure the validity of food microbiology examinations, to assist in ensuring that the general techniques used for conducting th
42、ese examinations are the same in all laboratories, to help achieve homogeneous results in different laboratories, and to contribute towards the safety of the laboratory personnel by preventing risks of infection. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the app

Examination of primary production stage samples (especially for sample reception and sample preparation) shall be separated from ex
49、amination of other samples to reduce the risks of cross-contamination. 3.2 Safety considerations The laboratory design shall comply with safety requirements which will depend on the type of microorganism. To this end, microorganisms are classified in four risk categories: Risk category 1 (no or very low risk to the individual and to the community). A microorganism that is unlikely to cause human or animal disease. Risk category 2 (moderate risk to the individual, low risk to the community). A pathogen that
