What is ISO 19036- Estimation of measurement uncertainty in microbiology of the food chain about?
ISO 19036 discusses the microbiology of the food chain. ISO 19036 is an international standard for estimation of measurement uncertainty for the quantitative determinations in microbiology of food chains that help in risk assessment and decision making.
ISO 19036 specifies requirements and gives guidance for the estimation and expression of measurement uncertainty (MU) associated with quantitative results in microbiology of the food chain.
ISO 19036 applies to the quantitative analysis of:
Products intended for human consumption or the feeding of animals
Environmental samples in food production and food handling
Samples at the stage of primary production
Most probable number (MPN) techniques
Instrumental methods, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and flow cytometry
Molecular methods, such as methods based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)
Note: The uncertainty estimated by ISO 19036 does not include systematic effects (bias).
