摘要
The contribution of reference laboratories in the European Union and of European/international standardization to the reliability of food microbiology measurement results is discussed. A set of European Union reference laboratories has been established. Each of them coordinates a network of national reference laboratories which, in turn, coordinate networks of laboratories in charge of official testing and sometimes own checks in each European Union country. Their contribution to the reliability of food microbiology measurement results is illustrated by three food safety cases: Listeria monocytogenes, coagulase positive staphylococci and milk/milk products. The contribution of European/international standardization focuses on two topics: method validation and measurement uncertainty. The standards covering these topics—EN ISO 16140 and ISO/TS 19036—are briefly discussed, and an update given on their ongoing revision.
