17、m. BS EN 15842:2010EN 15842:2010 (E) 4 Introduction The main focus of this European Standard is on immunoassays, chromotographic and nucleic acid based methods for the determination of food allergens. However, because of the rapid developments in this area, other technologies may be considered. The
18、search for food allergens is performed by means of the following successive (or simultaneous) steps. After sample collection, proteins, nucleic acids or other markers are extracted from the test portion. Extracted analytes can be further purified, simultaneously or after the extraction process. Afte
19、rwards, they are diluted (if necessary) and subjected to analytical procedures such as immunoassays (e.g. ELISA), nucleic acid based assays (e.g. PCR) or chromatographic (e.g. LC-MS). These steps are detailed in this document and in the following documents: EN 15633-1:2009, Foodstuffs Detection of f

21、oassays, nucleic based and chromatographic methods and their relationship in the analysis of food allergens; and contains general definitions, requirements and guidelines for laboratory set-up, method validation requirements, description of methods, and test reports. This document also specifies gen
22、eral guidelines for the requirements and use of reference materials for the determination of allergenic commodities in food products. The term “reference materials“ in this document includes certified reference materials as well as quality control materials. Currently only a limited number of refere
23、nce materials for food allergen determination are available. As new materials become accepted and validated, they may be appended as an annex to this document. This document does not deal with sampling issues. It simply details processes involved from receipt of the laboratory sample to the end resu

NOTE 2 The term “
29、accuracy“, when applied to a set of test or measurement results, involves a combination of random components and a common systematic error or a bias component. NOTE 3 Accuracy refers to a combination of trueness and precision. ISO 3534-2:2006 3.3 applicability range quantity interval within which th

31、atic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more systematic error components contributing to the bias. A larger systematic difference from the accepted reference value is reflected by a larger bias value. NOTE 2 The bias of a measuring instrument is normally estimated by averaging
32、the error of indication over an appropriate number of repeated measurements. The error of indication is the “indication of a measuring instrument minus a true value of the corresponding input quantity“.
