ISO/TS 27265:2009 ドライミルク—好熱性細菌の特別に耐熱性の胞子の列挙 | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization 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 established 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 standardization.

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. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:

• an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote;
• an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote.

An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn.

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 patent rights.

ISO/TS 27265|IDF/RM 228 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5, Milk and milk products, and the International Dairy Federation (IDF). It is being published jointly by ISO and IDF.

Foreword

IDF (the International Dairy Federation) is a non-profit organization representing the dairy sector worldwide. IDF membership comprises National Committees in every member country as well as regional dairy associations having signed a formal agreement on cooperation with IDF. All members of IDF have the right to be represented on the IDF Standing Committees carrying out the technical work. IDF collaborates with ISO in the development of standard methods of analysis and sampling for milk and milk products.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the Action Teams and Standing Committees are circulated to the National Committees for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 50 % of the IDF National Committees casting a vote.

In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a Standing Committee may decide to publish an other type of normative document which is called by IDF: Reviewed method. Such a method represents an agreement between the members of a Standing Committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by at least 50 % of the committee members casting a vote. A Reviewed method is equal to an ISO/PAS or ISO/TS and will, therefore, also be published jointly under ISO conditions.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. IDF shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO/TS 27265|IDF/RM 228 was prepared by the International Dairy Federation (IDF) and Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5, Milk and milk products. It is being published jointly by IDF and ISO.

All work was carried out by the Joint ISO-IDF Action Team on Harmonization of the Standing Committee on Microbiological methods of analysis under the aegis of its project leaders, Ms S. Miller (NZ) and Mr B. Hill (NZ).

1 Scope

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the enumeration of colony-forming units (CFU) of specially thermoresistant spores of thermophilic bacteria in dried milk products by using a colony-count technique at 55 °C after heating the sample at 106 °C.

The applicability of this Technical Specification is limited to dried whole milk, skim milk, and buttermilk products that are destined to be recombined and used in the manufacture of sterilized (e.g. UHT or retort-treated) milk products.
