ISO 6658:2017给出了感官分析使用的一般指南。它描述了通过感官分析对食品和其他产品进行检验的测试，并包括了一些关于需要对结果进行统计分析时所使用技术的一般信息。 通常，这些测试仅用于客观感官分析。然而，如果一项测试可以用于确定享乐测试中的偏好，则表明这一点。 享乐测试旨在确定产品的可接受性和/或确定特定消费者群体对两种或两种以上产品的偏好。这些方法对于确定是否存在可感知偏好（喜好程度的差异）或是否不存在可感知偏好（配对相似性测试）是有效的。ISO 11136中给出了享乐测试的一般指南。

ISO 6658:2017 gives general guidance on the use of sensory analysis. It describes tests for the examination of foods and other products by sensory analysis, and includes some general information on the techniques to be used if statistical analysis of the results is required. Generally these tests are intended only for objective sensory analysis. However, if a test can be used for determining preference in hedonic test, this is indicated. A hedonic test aims to determine the acceptability of the products and/or to determine preferences among two or more products by the specified consumer population. The methods are effective for determining whether a perceptible preference exists (difference in degree of liking), or whether no perceptible preference exists (paired similarity test). General guidance for hedonic tests is given in ISO 11136.
