NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 4833-1 : 2013 'Microbiology of the food chain - Horizontal method for the enumeration of microorganisms - Part 1: Colony count at 30°C by the pour plate technique' issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Food Hygiene, Safety Management and Other Systems Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1969 and subsequently revised in 2002 and 2012. First revision of this standard was identical with ISO 4833 : 1991. The second revision of the standard was an identical adoption of ISO 4833 : 2003 under dual numbering. Subsequently, ISO 4833 was revised in 2013 into two parts under the general title ‘Microbiology of the food chain - Horizontal method for the enumeration of microorganisms':

Part 1 Colony count at 30°C by the pour plate technique

Part 2 Colony count at 30°C by the surface plating technique
