EN 19956 Validation of Protein and Amino Acid Testing in Food Labs
The European Standard EN 19956 sets the stage for validating protein and amino acid testing methods used in food laboratories. This standard is pivotal for ensuring that analytical results are accurate, reproducible, and reliable. As a leading laboratory with extensive experience in food safety and quality assurance, we provide comprehensive validation services to ensure compliance with this standard. Our team of experts ensures that all aspects of the validation process are meticulously addressed.
EN 19956 is designed to cover the validation of methods used for determining protein content and amino acid profiles in various types of food products. The scope encompasses not only the analytical techniques but also the associated sample preparation procedures, instrument calibration, and method optimization steps. This standard ensures that laboratories are equipped with robust protocols to handle a wide range of samples accurately.
The validation process under EN 19956 involves several critical components:
- Method selection: Choosing appropriate analytical techniques based on the type of food sample.
- Sample preparation: Ensuring consistent and accurate sample handling to avoid variability in results.
- Instrument calibration: Regularly calibrating instruments used for analysis to maintain precision and accuracy.
- Optimization of methods: Fine-tuning the analytical process to achieve optimal performance.
The standard also emphasizes the importance of inter-laboratory comparisons, where multiple laboratories run the same sample using different methodologies. This helps in assessing the reproducibility and robustness of the method being validated. By adhering to these stringent guidelines, we provide clients with confidence that their testing methods meet the highest international standards.
Our EN 19956 validation service includes a detailed report that outlines all aspects of the validation process, including any modifications made during the procedure and the final results. This comprehensive approach ensures transparency and traceability throughout the entire validation cycle.
The benefits of this service extend beyond mere compliance; it enhances laboratory credibility and trustworthiness among stakeholders such as regulators, suppliers, and customers. By ensuring that all tests are validated according to EN 19956, we contribute significantly to maintaining food safety standards globally.
