Hi,

 

We are canned tuna company supplying to EU. The number of samples for destructive evaluation (organoleptic, drained weight) using the sampling design from Codex Stan 233-1969 is costly and time consuming. Is there any acceptable sampling design other than Codex 233-1969 for EU?

 

Regards.

Sierwin

Hi Sierwin,

 

It ultimately depends on the specification/level of confidence/accuracy you require in yr result.

MIL Std 105 has special sampling levels which could be used if the related AQL  is acceptable to you

 

afaik, the only specific sampling procedures required for EU relate to use of their weight assurance logo on packaging  but I'm unsure if this applies to canned goods since my experience is with frozen seafood. It may also relate to yr seller-buyer contractual agreement, if any.

 

PS - how many samples/lot are you using at the moment ?


Kind Regards,

addendum -

the sampling plan issued with the EU logo requirements has a special section for destructive sampling. From memory, the number of samples (net weight ca. 200g)  per "batch" was somewhere around 20-30 and a statistical validation of the plan is also given. This procedure  is based on the T1,T2 levels of weight control as used by EU for retail goods.

I think the plan is available on the IT, somewhere.


Kind Regards,
