ISO/IDF Standard Compliance Testing in Dairy
The dairy industry is subject to a wide array of regulatory requirements and standards aimed at ensuring product quality, safety, and consumer trust. One critical aspect of compliance involves meeting the stringent specifications outlined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Dairy Federation (IDF). Our laboratory specializes in providing ISO/IDF standard compliance testing services specifically tailored to dairy products.
Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of dairy products, including milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, and other fermented or processed dairy goods. Compliance with these standards is essential for manufacturers seeking to ensure the safety, quality, and consistency of their products across international markets. By offering comprehensive testing services aligned with ISO/IDF guidelines, we support our clients in meeting global regulatory requirements and maintaining product integrity.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to international best practices and uses state-of-the-art equipment to conduct tests that meet or exceed the specified criteria set forth by these organizations. This ensures accurate results and reliable data for all stakeholders involved in the dairy supply chain—from raw material suppliers to end consumers.
The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, ensuring each specimen accurately represents the product being tested. We employ advanced analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to analyze various parameters including but not limited to fat content, protein levels, lactose concentration, and microbial load.
Our team of experienced scientists and engineers understands the nuances involved in dairy product testing under ISO/IDF standards. They work closely with clients throughout every stage of the testing process, providing guidance on sample collection, preparation, and interpretation of results. Our goal is to streamline this complex procedure while delivering accurate, actionable insights that help maintain compliance.
In addition to routine testing services, we also offer custom solutions designed specifically for our clients' unique needs. Whether it's developing a new product formulation or addressing specific concerns about existing processes, our experts can tailor their approach to meet those requirements effectively.
