ISO 22587 Herbicide Analysis in Drinking Water for Food Processing
The ISO 22587 standard provides a robust framework for the analysis of herbicides in drinking water, ensuring that food processing facilities have access to safe and uncontaminated raw materials. This service is crucial for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams within the food & feed testing sector.
The standard covers various aspects of sample preparation, extraction methods, and instrumental analysis techniques used in detecting herbicide residues in water intended for use in food processing. It emphasizes the importance of accurate quantification to prevent contamination that could lead to product recalls or health risks.
Herbicides are widely used pesticides designed to kill unwanted vegetation. Their presence in drinking water can pose significant threats, as they may disrupt natural ecosystems and affect human health when consumed through food products derived from contaminated water sources. Ensuring compliance with ISO 22587 helps mitigate these risks by providing a standardized approach to monitoring herbicide levels.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the guidelines outlined in this international standard, ensuring consistent results across different batches of drinking water samples. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and follow strict protocols to maintain accuracy and reliability throughout every step of the testing process—from sample collection to final analysis.
The primary goal of ISO 22587 is to protect public health by setting limits on allowable concentrations of herbicides in drinking water used for food production. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers can ensure they meet regulatory requirements while maintaining high levels of product safety and quality.
In addition to providing accurate test results, our team offers valuable insights into potential sources of contamination and best practices for preventing future issues. This expertise is particularly beneficial for companies looking to enhance their supply chain management or improve internal controls related to water quality.
- Sample Preparation: Samples are collected from specified locations according to ISO 22587 guidelines. They undergo rigorous preprocessing steps designed to remove any interfering substances before being analyzed further.
- Instrumental Analysis: Advanced analytical instruments such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) are employed to detect even trace amounts of herbicides. These methods allow for precise quantification, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory thresholds.
Why It Matters
Compliance with ISO 22587 is essential for maintaining the integrity of food processing operations. Non-compliance can result in contaminated products, costly recalls, and damage to brand reputation. By partnering with us, you gain access to cutting-edge technology and experienced professionals who understand both local regulations and international best practices.
For quality managers, this service ensures consistent product quality across all batches, reducing variability that could otherwise compromise consumer trust. Compliance officers benefit from having reliable data supporting regulatory adherence, which simplifies audits and inspections. R&D engineers can leverage our expertise to explore innovative solutions for minimizing herbicide contamination risks.
Procurement teams gain peace of mind knowing they are sourcing materials from suppliers who meet stringent quality standards. This not only enhances product safety but also supports broader sustainability goals by promoting responsible agricultural practices.
