20、odies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental a
21、nd non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives,
22、 Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies cast
23、ing a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

29、peThis part of ISO 6887 specifies rules for the preparation of samples taken at all stages from the farm to the slaughterhouse and their suspension for microbiological examination when the samples require different preparation from the methods described in ISO 6887-1. ISO 6887-1 defines the general
30、rules for the preparation of the initial suspension and decimal dilutions for microbiological examination.This part of ISO 6887 excludes the preparation of samples for both enumeration and detection test methods where preparation details are specified in the relevant International Standards.This par
31、t of ISO 6887 is applicable to various samples taken from the hatchery, the farm, from the vehicle or the animals during transportation, or from animals or their carcasses in the slaughterhouse, to indicate the microbiological status of the animals in relation to zoonotic agents. This part of ISO 68
32、87 does not apply to samples taken to assess the hygiene of meat. These are covered by ISO 6887-2.This part of ISO 6887 does not consider samples taken from the aquatic environment (marine or freshwater) at the primary production stage. These are covered by ISO 6887-3.2 Normative referencesThe follo

40、ed to obtain as uniform a distribution as possible of the microorganisms contained in the test sample, without reducing their viability.A suspension for pre-enrichment or enrichment is prepared in the same way, using the medium recommended by the method of analysis concerned, except in the special c
41、ases mentioned in each product subclause (section) of this part of ISO 6887.If necessary, further dilutions (3.5) are prepared in order to reduce the number of microorganisms per unit volume to allow, after incubation, observation of any growth (in the case of liquid media) or enumeration of colonie
42、s (in or on agar plates), as stated in each specific standard.In order to restrict, if required, the range of enumeration to a given interval, or if high numbers of microorganisms are foreseen, it is possible to inoculate only the appropriate dilutions (at least two successive dilutions) according t
