Scope

This standard specifies the method for evaluating and determining the shelf life of
foodstuff, by sensory inspection. During the set shelf life, the sensory properties of
foodstuff in appearance, smell, taste, texture, trigeminal sensation and flavor are
evaluated by sensory inspection.
This standard provides guidance for the development of procedures for determining the
shelf life of specific products.
The intent of this standard does not address all safety issues, even if related to the use
of this standard. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard, to establish
appropriate safety and health safeguards AND to clarify the limitations specified prior
to use.

physical and chemical testing, it is also necessary to consider the results of sensory
inspection.
