7、nternational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). 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
8、has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and 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 electrotechnica
9、l standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, 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 bod
10、ies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any
11、 or all such patent rights. ISO 13300-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 12, Sensory analysis. ISO 13300 consists of the following parts, under the general title Sensory analysis General guidance for the staff of a sensory evaluation laboratory: Part 1: S
12、taff responsibilities Part 2: Recruitment and training of panel leaders BS ISO 13300-1:20061Sensory analysis General guidance for the staff of a sensory evaluation laboratory Part 1: Staff responsibilities 1 Scope This part of ISO 13300 provides guidance on staff functions in order to improve the or
13、ganization of a sensory evaluation laboratory, to optimize the use of personnel, and to improve the efficiency of sensory tests. It is applicable to any organization planning to establish a formal structure for sensory evaluation. The main aspects to be considered are the education, background and p
14、rofessional competence of staff members, and the responsibilities of staff members at three different functional levels: sensory manager; sensory analyst or panel leader; panel technician. These guidelines are valid for all different types of sensory evaluation laboratories, in particular those in i
15、ndustry, in research and development organizations, in service organizations and in the field of official authorities concerned with product control. In principle, it can be assumed that the sensory evaluation laboratory can perform all types of sensory tests. This means analytical tests such as dis
16、crimination tests, descriptive analysis (sensory profile), as well as consumer tests (e.g. hedonic tests). The individual profile of sensory activities of an organization determines the boundaries and conditions to be considered for planning and implementing the sensory evaluation laboratory and its
17、 staff. The application of this guidance by the organization is flexible and depends on the needs and possibilities within an organization. For example, personnel might not be available for three levels of staff function and, thus, the duties can be divided among staff accordingly. Also, in a staff
18、of two persons the technical/scientific functions can be shared between a person handling the administrative/management functions and the individual handling the operational functions. NOTE Elements that are common to all levels of staff, such as ability to maintain confidentiality, where needed, an
19、d motivation and enjoyment of the work are not described in this document. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referen
20、ced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 5492, Sensory analysis Vocabulary BS ISO 13300-1:20062 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 5492 and the following apply. 3.1 sensory staff personnel who fulfil the major functions of a
21、sensory analysis laboratory (administrative/management, scientific/technical and operational) NOTE 1 The staff may be given titles (such as sensory manager, sensory analyst, panel leaders and panel technicians) but the functional level performed, however, is the primary consideration as various titl
22、es may be used (see 3.2 to 3.5 for examples). NOTE 2 Sensory assessors are not included as staff in this document because their primary function is not related to conducting or managing tests. The role of assessors is described in other standards. 3.2 sensory manager person with administrative and b
23、udgetary responsibility for the sensory evaluation laboratory within the top or middle management level of the organization with respect to the sensory evaluation programme NOTE This person defines the training, technical, scientific and quality policies for the sensory organization. 3.3 sensory ana
24、lyst person who fulfils scientific professional functions, who may supervise one or more panel leaders, design and conduct sensory studies, and who analyses and interprets the resulting data 3.4 panel leader person whose primary duties are to manage panel activities, and recruit, train and monitor t
25、he assessors NOTE 1 This person may also design and conduct sensory tests, and analyse and interpret data. NOTE 2 This person may be assisted by one or more panel technicians. 3.5 panel technician person who fulfils the operational functions by assisting the panel leader or sensory analyst in perfor
26、ming sensory tests, including necessary preparation measures before the tests and activities after the tests (e.g. waste disposal) 4 Competencies and responsibilities Tables 1 and 2 give summaries of staff responsibilities and competencies, respectively. 4.1 Administrative/Management (Sensory manage
27、r) 4.1.1 Education and position in the company To be effective in an organization, the sensory manager should belong to middle or senior management of the company or organization, and should interface with other departments. A background in a product science (e.g. food science), psychology or other
28、related sciences (e.g. chemist, technologist, engineer, biologist) is recommended. The individual should have good interpersonal and management skills and good written and verbal skills. BS ISO 13300-1:200634.1.2 Competencies With respect to the different functions, the necessary competencies are th
29、e following. a) Management competencies: organizational and planning capabilities; administrative capabilities (budgeting, reporting, programme updating); knowledge of the business and the environment; knowledge of the ethics and the control of tests with human subjects; knowledge of health and safe
30、ty requirements. b) Scientific and technical competencies: product knowledge (development, formulation aspects); technical knowledge with respect to production and packaging; knowledge of laboratory systems, including computerized systems and software, if needed. c) Sensorial competencies: theoretic
