ISO 13300-1:2006提供了关于员工职能的指导，以改进感官评估实验室的组织，优化人员使用，并提高感官测试的效率。 它适用于任何计划建立感官评估正式结构的组织。需要考虑的主要方面是工作人员的教育、背景和专业能力，以及三个不同职能级别的工作人员的职责:感官经理；感官分析师或小组组长；面板技师。 这些指南适用于所有不同类型的感官评估实验室，尤其是工业、研发组织、服务组织和与产品控制有关的官方机构领域的实验室。 原则上，可以假设感官评估实验室可以进行所有类型的感官测试。这意味着分析测试，如辨别测试、描述性分析（感官分析）以及消费者测试（如享乐测试）。组织感官活动的个人特征决定了规划和实施感官评估实验室及其工作人员所需考虑的边界和条件。 组织对本指南的应用是灵活的，取决于组织内部的需求和可能性。例如，人员可能无法胜任三个级别的工作人员职能，因此，可以相应地在工作人员之间分配职责。此外，在由两人组成的工作人员中，技术/科学职能可由负责行政/管理职能的人员和负责运营职能的个人共同承担。

ISO 13300-1:2006 provides guidance on staff functions in order to improve the organization of a sensory evaluation laboratory, to optimize the use of personnel, and to improve the efficiency of sensory tests. It is applicable to any organization planning to establish a formal structure for sensory evaluation. The main aspects to be considered are the education, background and professional competence of staff members, and the responsibilities of staff members at three different functional levels: sensory manager; sensory analyst or panel leader; panel technician. These guidelines are valid for all different types of sensory evaluation laboratories, in particular those in industry, in research and development organizations, in service organizations and in the field of official authorities concerned with product control. In principle, it can be assumed that the sensory evaluation laboratory can perform all types of sensory tests. This means analytical tests such as discrimination tests, descriptive analysis (sensory profile), as well as consumer tests (e.g. hedonic tests). The individual profile of sensory activities of an organization determines the boundaries and conditions to be considered for planning and implementing the sensory evaluation laboratory and its staff. The application of this guidance by the organization is flexible and depends on the needs and possibilities within an organization. For example, personnel might not be available for three levels of staff function and, thus, the duties can be divided among staff accordingly. Also, in a staff of two persons the technical/scientific functions can be shared between a person handling the administrative/management functions and the individual handling the operational functions.
