UNBS is mandated to co-ordinate the elaboration of standards and is (a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and (b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Standards, and (c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT/SPS Agreements of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of representatives of consumers, traders, academicians, manufacturers, government and other stakeholders. Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council. This Uganda Standard, US EAS 165, Milk and milk products — Sampling — Inspection by variables, is identical with and has been reproduced from an East African Standard, EAS 165, Milk and milk products — Sampling — Inspection by variables and adopted as a Uganda Standard. This standard was developed by Milk and Milk Products Sub-committee (TC 2/SC 1) under Food and Agricultural Standards Technical committee (UNBS/TC 2). For the purpose of this standard, the East African Standard text should be modified as follows: (a)(cid:9)Terminology(cid:13)(cid:10) The words "this Uganda Standard" should replace the words "this East African Standard" wherever they appear. (b)(cid:9)Reference The reference to East African Standards should be replaced by references to the appropriate Uganda Standards where they have been declared. iii © UNBS 2006 – All rights reserved EAS 165:2006 ICS 67.100.01 EAST AFRICAN STANDARD Milk and milk products — Sampling — Inspection by variables EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY © EAC 2006 Second Edition 2006 EAS 165:2006 Foreword Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing requirements governing quality of products and services in East Africa. It is envisaged that through harmonized standardization, trade barriers which are encountered when goods and services are exchanged within the Community will be removed. In order to achieve this objective, the Partner States in the Community through their National Bureaux of Standards, have established an East African Standards Committee. The Committee is composed of representatives of the National Standards Bodies in Partner States, together with the representatives from the private sectors and consumer organizations. Draft East African Standards are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner States. The comments received are discussed and incorporated before finalization of standards, in accordance with the procedures of the Community. East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the East African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of the standards they are implementing. © East African Community 2006 — All rights reserved* East African Community P O Box 1096 Arusha Tanzania Tel: 255 27 2504253/8 Fax: 255-27-2504481/2504255 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.each.org * © 2006 EAC — All rights of exploitation in any form and by any means reserved worldwide for EAC Partner States’ NSBs. ii © EAC 2006 — All rights reserved ISO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 8197 First edition 1988-11-01 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE DE NORMALISATION MEXAYHAPOflHAFl OPTAHM3A~MFl l-l0 CTAHfiAPTM3AuMM Milk and milk products - Sampling - Inspection by variables Lait et produits laitiers - &hantillonnage - Con trOle par mesures Reference number ISO 8197: 1988 (E) ISO 8197 : 1988 (El Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 8197 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Agricultural food products, in collaboration with the International Dairy Federation (IDF) and the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and will also be published by these organizations. Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. 0 International Organkation for Standardkation, 1988 0 Printed in Switzerland ii ISO 8197:1988 (E) Introduction Inspection by variables is a method which consists in measuring a quantitative characteristic for each item of a Sample taken from a population. The acceptability of the population is established statistically from the number of items in the Sample that meet specified requirements.
