It describes the requirements to set up a testroomcomprising a testing are
23、a, a preparation area, and an office, specifying those that are essential or those that are merely desirable. This International Standardisnot specific forany product or testtype. NOTE The test space can be similar for food and non-food products thatare evaluated using sensory methods.However, the t
24、estrooms mightneedtobeadapted for eachspecialized use. Modificationstothe designare often needed for specificproductsand for specifictypes of testing. This is particularly true if thetestroomsare to be used fortheevaluation of non-food products. Although many of the general principlesare similar,thi
25、s International Standarddoesnot addresstestfacilitiesforthe specialized examination of products in inspection or in-plant quality-control applications. 2 NormativereferencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable forthe application of this document.

28、)2 5 Creation of test rooms The creation of testroomsintended forsensoryanalysisdiffers, depending on whether a new building or anexistingfacility is used. A typical testfacility comprisesthe following: a testing area in which workmay be carried out individually in testing booths or in groups; a pre
29、paration area; an office; a cloakroom and toilets; a storage room forsupplies; a storage room forsamples; a waiting room forassessors. The minimum requirements are a testing area in which workmay be carried out individually in testing booths or in groups, and a preparation area. The testroom should
30、be easilyaccessible to the assessors and should not be located in an area where thereis a heavy trafficflow(forexample, near a cafeteria), unlessarrangements have been made to reducenoiseand distraction. Reasonable arrangements should also bemade foraccessibilitytothe area by those with physical dis
31、abilities. An area forassessors to gather or wait prior to entering thepanel roomisdesirable. The organizationofthe areasshould be easily accessible forcleaning and should allow forgood conditionsofhygiene. See the examples of testroom layouts given in Annex A. 6 Testing area6.1General requirements6
32、.1.1 LocationThe testing area should be located near the preparation area. The areas should be close enough to each other to facilitate sample presentation, but the areas should be separate to reduce interference, such asfromodour and noise. (See also 7.1.)The assessors shall not enter or leave the
33、testing area through the preparationarea, as this could result in bias in the test results.BS EN ISO 8589:2010EN ISO 8589:2010 (E) BSI 2010BS EN ISO 8589:2010+A1:2014EN ISO 8589:2010+A1:2014 (E)36.1.2 Temperature andrelativehumidityThe temperature in the testing area shallbecontrolled. Relativehumid
34、ityshould be controllable if it canaffectthe product during evaluation. Generally, thelevelsshould be comfortable forthe assessors, unlessthe product testrequires unusual conditions.6.1.3 Noise The noiselevel shall be kept to a minimum during the tests. Therefore, it is desirable forthe room to be s
35、ound-resistant, with floorsthat can minimizenoisesassociated with walking or when moving objects.6.1.4OdoursThe testing area shall be kept reasonablyfree from odours. One wayto achieve this is by installing an airsystem with activated carbon filters. If necessary, a slight positive pressure may be c
36、reated in the testing area to reducethe inflowofair fromother areas. The testing area shall be constructed from materials which are easy to clean and can be kept odour free. Furnishings and equipment, such ascarpets,chairs, etc., shall not emit odoursthat can interfere with the evaluation. Depending
37、 on the useofthe laboratory, the use of fabric surfaces mayneed to be limited becauseof odour absorption and difficulties in cleaning. Cleaning agents that are used should not leave odoursin the testing area. 6.1.5 DecorationThe colour of the walls and furnishings of the testing area shallbe neutral
38、 so that the colour of samples is notmodified. Matt off-white or light neutral greyare recommended colours(darkgreymay be appropriate forfloorsand chairs).6.1.6Lighting The source, type of lighting and lighting levels are very important in allsensorytesting. Attention shall begiven to general lighti
39、ng in all rooms, and to lighting in each panel booth when applicable. The lighting in the testing area shall be uniform, free from strong shadows, and controllable. Although not required, lightsmay be chosen that attempt to reproduce aspecific lighting condition. EXAMPLE Lights with a correlated col
40、our temperature of 6 500 K provide agood, neutral light similar to “northerndaylight” and lights of 5 000 K to 5 500 K with a high colour-rendering index may simulate “noon” daylight. Special lighting maybe especially important in the case ofcolour assessment of products or materials.Special lightin
41、g devicesmay also be needed to mask colour or visual differences that are unwanted, non-testvariables in the product. Devices that maybeused include a dimmerdevice, coloured light sources, coloured filters, blacklight, or monochromatic lightsourcessuch as sodium vapour lamps.In consumer testing, lig
42、hting that is typicaloflighting found in the placewhere the product will be used often maybe chosen. Thus, the type of lighting needed depends on the type of testthatisconducted.

43、iderations Anyspecial safety considerations appropriate forthe type of laboratoryshouldbe considered, such as special ventilation hoods forodoursamples,chemical wash stations if working with chemicals,and special fireconsiderations if working with cooking equipment. Regardless of the type oflaborato
44、ry, exit signsshould be placed appropriately. 6.2Testing booths 6.2.1General requirementsIn many sensorytests,assessors are required to make independent personal judgements.Assessors oftenuse individual testing booths to limit distractionsand to avoid communication during evaluations where individua
45、l assessment is necessary.6.2.2 Number The number of booths that can be installed depends on thespace available and the tests usually carried out inthe testing area. This number shall be chosen to allowsufficient space formovement and forthe serving ofsamples from the serving area. 6.2.3 Set-upAltho
46、ugh permanent testing booths are recommended, the use of temporary, portable,testing booths maybe necessary. If the testing booths are constructed along a walldividing the testing area from the preparation area, it isrecommended that there be openings to allow samplesto be passedfromthe preparation
47、area to the testingbooth. The openings shallbe designed foreasypassage of samples and covered by sliding doorsorhatches which close quietly. A counter on the serving-area side of the wall is convenient. It is recommended that theopenings be designed so that assessors cannot see samples being prepare
48、d or coded. Electrical outlets,ifneeded, should be convenientlylocatedtoaccommodate electrical equipment that mayberequired for specific testing situations. If a computer system is used by assessors fordata input, the necessary computer components shallbeconfigured so astoallow the assessortoconcent
49、rate on thesensorytask. For example, the screen should beat a comfortable height forviewing and should be configured so that thereisminimal glare, and screen saversshould generally not be used. The keyboard or other input device should be at a comfortable level and placed so that it is not in the wayofthe evaluation of samples.Unlessthe panel is served at specific timeintervals,it is recommended that a system be devised forthe assessorto signal to the operator when he/she is ready fora sample. This is especially important when a wal
