This International Standard specifies a horizontal method for sampling techniques using contact
plates, dipslides, stick swab, sponge and cloth on surfaces in the food industry environment (and food
processing plants), with a view of detecting or enumerating culturable microorganisms (pathogenic or
non-pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and moulds).
This International Standard is not designed at validating the cleaning and disinfection procedure.

contamination or recontamination source, for example, material, premises, operators.
