The circular economy: building trust through conformity assessment
Standards and conformity assessment provide assurance on aspects of the circular economy including product lifetime and recyclability, safety and efficiency.
Standards for the microbiology of food ensure the safety, quality, and authenticity of food products. They cover detecting microorganisms, analyzing pathogens, validating laboratory methods, and determining chemical and biological markers, helping producers meet global regulatory requirements.

Testing the nutrients of infant formula: new standard in the ISO series
Nutritional labelling of infant formulas is, unsurprisingly, a heavily regulated area, meaning tight rules around the nutrients they contain. ISO has an industry-recognized series of International Standards for the determination of such nutrients, the latest of which has just been published.
Sample standards
Microbiology of the food chain — Enumeration of Brochothrix spp. — Colony-count technique
Infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of chromium, selenium and molybdenum — Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of vitamin B12 by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)
Infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of vitamin E and vitamin A by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography
Infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of total iodine — Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of pantothenic acid by ultra high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry method (UHPLC-MS/MS)
