BS ISO 16779:2015 specifies methods for the determination and verification of the shelf life of
foodstuffs by means of sensory tests. Sensory characteristics to be evaluated are changes in appearance,
odour, flavour, taste, trigeminal sensation, and texture during assumed preservation periods.It is intended to support the development of individual approaches.This International 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 International Standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE For the purposes of calculating the shelf life, before microbiological, chemical and physical
investigation results are used in addition to sensory testing.Cross References:ISO 5492ISO 4120ISO 5495ISO 6658ISO 8587ISO 8589ISO 10399ISO 11036ISO 11136ISO 13299All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
