IS 15938 : 2024/ISO 13496 : 2021 Meat and Meat Products - Detection and Determination of Colouring Agents
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 13496 : 2021 'Meat and meat products - Detection and determination of colouring agents' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Slaughter House and Meat Industry Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.
This standard was originally published in year 2011 and was an identical adoption of ISO 13496 : 2000 'Meat and meat products - Detection of colouring agents - Method using thin-layer chromatography' under dual numbering. This first revision has been undertaken to harmonize it with the latest version of ISO 13496 and is an identical adoption of the ISO document under dual numbering. The main changes in this revision compared with previous version are as follows:
a) A new test method, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), has been added;
b) The order of the clauses has been rearranged;
c) The title of the document has been modified; and
d) The scope has been modified.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
