Microbiology of the food chain — Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection and quantification of microorganisms — Performance characteristics

General information

30.60     Apr 14, 2026

ISO

ISO/TC 34/SC 9

International Standard

Scope

ISO 22118:2010 specifies minimum requirements of performance characteristics for the detection of nucleic acid sequences (DNA or RNA) by molecular methods. ISO 22118:2010 applies to the detection of food-borne pathogens in foodstuffs and isolates obtained from them using molecular detection methods based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
ISO 22118:2010 is also applicable, for example, to the detection of food-borne pathogens in environmental samples and in animal feeding stuffs.
