60-61 / 407
Codex STAN 234-1999
Dilemma
•
The standard has a review
schedule of every 5 years or so.
•
The last adoption of the
standard was in 1999
•
Some of the methods are
outdated, modified, etc…
•
Codex process does not allow for
review the standard as methods
are incorporated by reference
•
AOAC has the most number of
methods in the standard
•
AOAC methods were candidates
for removal in a number of areas
about seven years ago
Recommended Solution
•
Each SDO to review their
own methods in Codex
STAN 234‐1999
•
Approximate five‐year
plan for review
•
Make recommendations
back to Codex regarding
the methods
