Last 8th of September took place the 17th meeting of the CEN Technical Committee 264, Working Group 2 that is dealing with the revision of the EN 13725. This meeting took place virtually over the morning of that day. As usual in standardization, many important issues that were left to the end have been addressed. That means that many important decisions have been taken at this stage.

   EN 13725 final draft is ready and there is left just the correction of some formulas in an Annex and some minor text corrections and references. Many important decisions have been taken at the very last moment, as it also happened in the previous meeting.

   The ASTM E1958 has been recently revised. This standard deals with sensory Claim substantiation. A claim is a statement about a product that highlights its advantages, sensory or perceptual attributes, or product changes or differences compared to other products in order to enhance its marketability.

   This standard recently revised deals with selecting and recruiting representative consumer samples, selecting and preparing products, constructing product rating forms, test execution, and statistical handling of data. Check more info about this revision here.
