NMKL Procedure 6, Year 2023, Ed. 3 General guidelines for quality assuring sensory laboratories

The EU and EFTA have agreed that a technical test or analysis of a product performed in a European laboratory must be accepted throughout Europe, provided that the laboratory meets certain formulated requirements and thereby achieves a seal of quality: accreditation. The document can be considered a «working document» and is useful for both sensory judges and sensory laboratories such as preparing for accreditation.

NMKL procedure 6 Ed. 3 was published in 2023 in English and replaces the previous Danish and Finnish versions. In addition to updating the references, recommendations related to GDPR is included.
