ISO 8589:2007提供了用于产品感官分析的试验室设计的一般指南。 它描述了建立一个由测试区、准备区和办公室组成的测试室的要求，具体说明了哪些是必要的，哪些只是需要的。 ISO 8589:2007不适用于任何产品或测试类型。 尽管许多一般原则是相似的，但ISO 8589:2007并未涉及检验或工厂质量控制应用中产品专门检验的测试设施。

ISO 8589:2007 provides general guidance for the design of test rooms intended for the sensory analysis of products. It describes the requirements to set up a test room comprising a testing area, a preparation area, and an office, specifying those that are essential or those that are merely desirable. ISO 8589:2007 is not specific for any product or test type. Although many of the general principles are similar, ISO 8589:2007 does not address test facilities for the specialized examination of products in inspection or in-plant quality-control applications.
