1.1 本指南提供了酒精饮料（包括啤酒、葡萄酒、冷却器、鸡尾酒、即饮饮料、利口酒、硬苹果酒和蒸馏酒）感官和消费者评估的具体指南。 1.2 本指南涉及酒精饮料的安全、法律、面板选择、样品制备、测试程序和行为准则。 1.3 本指南不推荐特定的测试方法。 1.4 本指南并非旨在解决全世界测试的所有细微差别。不同的国家有不同的指导方针，而一些国家没有自己的指导方针。标准饮料（或酒精单位）的定义也因国家而异。本指南通常侧重于美国境内（以及加拿大境内）的测试；即使在这些地区，法律也可能随着时间的推移而变化。 本指南涵盖了目前在这些领域中普遍存在的内容，并建议适用于通常没有自己指南的国家。用户有责任了解其当地法律法规、公司政策和程序，并根据需要加以应用。本指南中还引用了一些有用的资源 ( 1. , 2. ) 2. . 1.5 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户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。 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）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》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 2.1 本指南中推荐的程序可用于酒精饮料的感官评价。 2.2 本指南提供了切实可行的建议，以最大限度地提高专家组成员的安全性，并将负责管理酒精饮料感官评估的人员或公司的风险和责任降至最低。 2.3 本指南还提供了与参与分销酒精饮料测试产品的各种政府机构打交道时的实用建议。 2.4 本指南使用了一个研究示例( 附录X1 )在对酒精饮料产品进行感官评估时，制定安全和监管注意事项。 注1: 另请参见 附录X1 和STP 913 ( 3. ) .

1.1 This guide provides guidelines specific to the sensory and consumer evaluation of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, coolers, cocktails, ready to drinks, liqueurs, hard ciders, and distilled spirits. 1.2 This guide addresses safety, legal, panel selection, sample preparation, test procedures, and code of conduct specific to alcoholic beverages. 1.3 This guide does not recommend a specific test method. 1.4 The guide does not purport to address all of the nuances of testing throughout the world. Different countries have different guidelines while some countries do not have their own guidelines. The definition of a standard drink (or unit of alcohol) also differs from country to country. This guide is generally focused on testing within the US (and to an extent Canada); and even within these regions, laws could change over time. This guide covers what is generally in place currently in these areas and is suggested for countries that generally have no guidelines of their own. It is the responsibility of the user to be aware of their local laws and regulations, corporate policies and procedures, and apply them as needed. Some useful resources are also cited in this guide ( 1 , 2 ) 2 . 1.5 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. 1.6 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 ====== 2.1 The procedures recommended in this guide can be used for the sensory evaluation of alcoholic beverages. 2.2 This guide provides practical suggestions to maximize panelist safety and to minimize the risks and liabilities of the person or corporation responsible for administering the sensory evaluation of alcoholic beverages. 2.3 This guide also provides practical suggestions when dealing with various government agencies that are involved in distributing alcoholic beverage test products. 2.4 This guide uses a research example ( Appendix X1 ) to frame the safety and regulatory considerations when conducting sensory evaluations of alcoholic beverage products.
