ISO 6887-6:2013规定了在从农场到屠宰场的所有阶段采集的样品的制备规则，以及当样品需要不同于ISO 6887-1所述方法的制备时，用于微生物检查的样品悬浮液的制备规则。 ISO 6887-6:2013不包括相关国际标准中规定了制备细节的计数和检测试验方法的样品制备。 ISO 6887-6:2013适用于从孵化场、农场、运输过程中的车辆或动物，或屠宰场中的动物或其尸体中采集的各种样本，以表明动物与人畜共患病因子相关的微生物状态。 ISO 6887-6:2013不适用于用于评估肉类卫生的样品。

ISO 6887-6:2013 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 6887-6:2013 excludes the preparation of samples for both enumeration and detection test methods where preparation details are specified in the relevant International Standards. ISO 6887-6:2013 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. ISO 6887-6:2013 does not apply to samples taken to assess the hygiene of meat.
