Cheese - Guidance on sample preparation for physical and chemical testing (ISO 24223:2021)

This document gives guidance on the sample preparation of fresh cheese, (semi)soft cheese, (semi)hard
cheese, processed cheese and whey cheese for physical and chemical analysis, including analysis by
applying instrumental methods.
This document describes the (sub)sampling, and sample preparation steps carried out after sampling
according to ISO 707 | IDF 50 and prior to method-specific sample preparations, e.g. as with analytical
methods listed in References [2] to [22].
NOTE Analysis on volatile substances, minor components or allergens can require additional precautionary
measures in sample preparation in order to avoid loss of or contamination with one or more target analytes.

Fromage - Lignes directrices pour la préparation des échantillons en vue des essais physiques et chimiques (ISO 24223:2021)

Dieses Dokument stellt einen Leitfaden zur Probenvorbereitung von Käse (Frischkäse, (Halb-)Weichkäse, (Halb-)Hartkäse und Schmelzkäse) und Molkenkäse für die physikalische und chemische Analyse, einschließlich der Analyse durch die Anwendung instrumenteller Methoden, zur Verfügung.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Schritte der Probenahme (Entnahme von Teilproben) und Probenvorbereitung, die nach der Probenahme nach ISO 707 | IDF 50 und vor verfahrensspezifischen Probenvorbereitungen, zum Beispiel bei den in Anhang A aufgeführten Analysemethoden, durchgeführt werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die Analyse auf flüchtige Substanzen, Nebenbestandteile oder Allergene erfordert möglicherweise zusätzliche Vorsichtsmaßnahmen bei der Probenvorbereitung, um den Verlust von oder die Verunreinigung mit einem oder mehreren Zielanalyten zu vermeiden.

Fromage - Lignes directrices pour la préparation des échantillons en vue des essais physiques et chimiques (ISO 24223:2021)

Le présent document donne des lignes directrices pour la préparation d’échantillons de fromage frais, fromage à pâte (semi-)molle, fromage à pâte (semi-)dure, fromage fondu et de fromage de lactosérum en vue d’analyses physiques et chimiques, en incluant l’analyse par l’application de méthodes instrumentales.
Le présent document décrit les étapes de (sous-)échantillonnage et de préparation d'échantillons effectuées après l'échantillonnage conformément à l’ISO 707 | FIL 50 et avant les préparations d’échantillons spécifiques de la méthode, par exemple avec les méthodes analytiques répertoriées dans les Références [2] à [22].
NOTE            L’analyse des substances volatiles, des composants mineurs ou des allergènes, peut nécessiter des précautions supplémentaires lors de la préparation des échantillons, afin d’éviter toute perte d’un ou de plusieurs analytes cibles ou contamination par un ou plusieurs analytes cibles.

Sir - Navodilo za pripravo vzorcev za fizikalno in kemijsko preskušanje (ISO 24223:2021)

Ta dokument vsebuje navodila za pripravo vzorcev svežega sira, (pol)mehkega sira, (pol)trdega sira, topljenega sira in sira iz sirotke za fizikalno oziroma kemijsko analizo, vključno z analizo z uporabo instrumentalnih metod.
Ta dokument opisuje (pod)vzorčenje in korake priprave vzorcev, ki se izvajajo po vzorčenju
v skladu s standardom ISO 707 | IDF 50 ter pred pripravami vzorcev, odvisnih od metode, npr. kot pri analitskih
metodah, navedenih v referencah od [2] do [22].
OPOMBA: Analiza pri hlapnih snoveh, manjših sestavinah ali alergenih lahko zahteva dodatne previdnostne ukrepe pri pripravi vzorcev za namene preprečevanja izgub ali onesnaženja z enim ali več ciljnimi analiti.
