Milk - Quantitative determination of microbiological quality - Guidance for establishing and verifying a conversion relationship between results of an alternative method and anchor method results
This document gives guidelines for the establishment of a conversion relationship between the results of an alternative method and an anchor method, and its verification for the quantitative determination of the microbiological quality of milk.NOTE The conversion relationship can be used a) to convert results from an alternative method to the anchor basis or b) to convert results/limits, expressed on an anchor basis, to results in units of an alternative method.

Le présent document a pour principal objectif de donner des lignes directrices pour l'établissement d'une relation de conversion entre les résultats d'une méthode de routine et une méthode d'ancrage et sa vérification en vue de la mesure de la qualité bactériologique du lait. La conversion en microbiologie quantitative signifie l'expression, en unités d'une autre méthode, généralement une méthode de référence ou d'ancrage, du résultat d'une mesure quantitative de l'état bactériologique d'un échantillon pour essai obtenu en appliquant une méthode de routine. De ce fait, les résultats quantitatifs obtenus selon les méthodes de routine peuvent être comparés aux valeurs ou aux limites présentées dans les unités de la méthode de référence ou d'ancrage.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
