The circular economy: building trust through conformity assessment
Standards and conformity assessment provide assurance on aspects of the circular economy including product lifetime and recyclability, safety and efficiency.
Standards for the microbiology of food ensure the safety, quality, and authenticity of food products. They cover detecting microorganisms, analyzing pathogens, validating laboratory methods, and determining chemical and biological markers, helping producers meet global regulatory requirements.

Testing the nutrients of infant formula: new standard in the ISO series
Nutritional labelling of infant formulas is, unsurprisingly, a heavily regulated area, meaning tight rules around the nutrients they contain. ISO has an industry-recognized series of International Standards for the determination of such nutrients, the latest of which has just been published.
