Why Choose BS EN 18054:2025?

The BS EN 18054:2025 standard is an essential tool for food scientists, quality assurance professionals, and regulatory bodies. It provides a detailed methodology for the determination of isotope ratios, which is crucial for:

  • Ensuring Food Authenticity: By analyzing the isotope ratios, this standard helps in verifying the origin and authenticity of food products, thus protecting consumers from fraudulent practices.
  • Quality Control: Implementing this standard in your quality control processes ensures that your products meet the highest standards of authenticity and safety.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to this standard helps businesses comply with international regulations and standards, facilitating smoother trade and market access.

Understanding EA-IRMS Technology

The Elemental Analyser - Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (EA-IRMS) is a cutting-edge technology used in the BS EN 18054:2025 standard. This technique involves the combustion of food samples to convert them into simple gases, which are then analyzed to determine their isotope ratios. The precision and accuracy of EA-IRMS make it an invaluable tool for food authenticity testing.

Benefits of EA-IRMS

  • High Precision: EA-IRMS provides highly precise measurements of isotope ratios, ensuring reliable results.
  • Non-Destructive: This method is non-destructive, meaning that it does not alter the sample, preserving its integrity for further analysis if needed.
  • Versatile Application: EA-IRMS can be applied to a wide range of food products, making it a versatile tool for various sectors within the food industry.

Who Can Benefit from BS EN 18054:2025?

This standard is ideal for a variety of stakeholders in the food industry, including:

  • Food Manufacturers: Ensure the authenticity and quality of your products, enhancing consumer trust and brand reputation.
  • Quality Assurance Teams: Implement rigorous testing protocols to maintain high standards of food safety and authenticity.
  • Regulatory Bodies: Use this standard as a benchmark for compliance and enforcement of food authenticity regulations.
  • Research Institutions: Leverage the detailed methodologies for advanced research in food science and technology.

Conclusion

The BS EN 18054:2025 standard is a vital resource for anyone involved in the food industry who is committed to ensuring the authenticity and safety of food products. By adopting this standard, you are not only safeguarding consumer interests but also enhancing the credibility and marketability of your products. Stay ahead in the competitive food industry by integrating this comprehensive standard into your operations.

DESCRIPTION

BS EN 18054:2025


This standard BS EN 18054:2025 Food authenticity. Determination of C and/or N isotope ratios in food by Elemental Analyser. Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (EA-IRMS) is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 67.050 General methods of tests and analysis for food products
This document covers instrumental analysis by elemental analyser-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS) of food materials to determine C and/or N isotope ratios. The isotope ratios obtained by following this document are expressed as δ13C and/or δ15N values relative to international measurement standards. Sample preparation is not included within this document. It is assumed that the food sample has been pre-treated as necessary and homogenized. Similarly, the interpretation of the obtained isotope delta values is not covered by this document. Following this protocol will result only in isotope delta values for the sample materials. Solid and/or liquid sample materials can be analysed following this document. Although other instrumental techniques can be applied to determine δ13C and/or δ15N values in food materials, these other techniques are not covered by this document.
