1.1 本指南提供了在描述性感官小组上测量和跟踪个人评估员表现的指南。 1.2 本指南提供了帮助感官专业人员测量特定评估员表现的指南。衡量绩效将成为( 1. )确定结果的可靠性，以及( 2. )为个人评估员制定补救措施。 1.3 本指南考察了经过培训的评估员表现的各个方面；如可重复性、歧视性和一致性，并展示了一些衡量它们的方法。这些程序将帮助感官专业人员确定表现良好的领域以及需要改进的领域。 1.4 使用既定的统计程序跟踪个人评估员的绩效。 这些过程取决于是否收集复制，以及是通过多个会话还是在单个会话内收集复制。 1.5 本指南提供了建议的程序，包括可以使用标准统计软件进行的统计程序，用于评估性能，并不排除可以有效用于类似目的的其他方法。 1.6 培训和筛选评估员的方法不在本指南的范围内。本指南不涉及如何将绩效反馈信息传达给各个评估员。面板再现性的监测，即面板再现其他面板结果的能力，也不在本指南的范围内。 1.7 本指南并没有解决与小组和评估员表现相关的所有人事问题，也没有解决小组心理或群体动态问题（例如，罢免表现不佳的评估员的影响）。 1.8 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.9 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本指南适用于经过培训的描述性评估员。 5.2 小组组长可使用本指南中建议的程序定期评估个人描述性评估员的表现。 5.3 跟踪评估员的表现将提供有关所生成数据质量的信息。性能信息可以用于决定是否使用数据来解释产品配置文件。 5.4 监测评估员的表现将使小组组长能够确定再培训需求，或确定表现不足以继续参与小组的评估员。

1.1 This guide provides guidelines for measuring and tracking the performance of individual assessors on a descriptive sensory panel. 1.2 This guide provides guidelines to assist sensory professionals in measuring performance for given assessors. Measuring performance will form the basis for ( 1 ) determining the reliability of the results, and ( 2 ) establishing remedial actions for an individual assessor. 1.3 This guide examines various aspects of trained assessor performance; such as repeatability, discrimination, and agreement and demonstrates some ways to measure them. The procedures will help the sensory professional determine areas of good performance as well as those that require improvement. 1.4 Individual assessor performance is tracked using established statistical procedures. These procedures depend on whether replicates are collected and if they are collected over multiple sessions or within a single session. 1.5 This guide provides suggested procedures, including statistical procedures that can be done using standard statistical software, for evaluating performance and is not meant to exclude other methods that may be effectively used for a similar purpose. 1.6 Methods for training and screening assessors are not within the scope of this guide. This guide does not address how to communicate performance feedback information to individual assessors. Monitoring of panel reproducibility, a measure of the panel’s ability to reproduce the results of other panels, is also not within the scope of this guide. 1.7 This guide does not address all of the personnel issues associated with panel and assessor performance and it does not address issues of panel psychology or group dynamics (for example, effect of removing a poorly performing assessor). 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This guide is meant to be used with and applied to individual trained descriptive assessors. 5.2 The procedures recommended in this guide can be used by the panel leader to periodically appraise the performance of individual descriptive assessors. 5.3 Tracking assessor performance will provide information as to the quality of the data being generated. Performance information may be used to decide whether to use the data to interpret product profiles. 5.4 Monitoring assessor performance will enable the panel leader to identify retraining needs or to identify assessors who are not performing well enough to continue participating on a panel.
