Abstract
This presentation deals with issues of comparability and traceability in food analysis in Australia from several perspectives. This includes the current national (Australian) and increasingly international (Codex) performance-based approach to food analysis. The Australian food regulatory process will be described, particularly those aspects that impact on the analysis of food in a regulatory sense. This section will also describe two areas where specific methods have been mandated in legislation and discuss two case studies where the analytical method has impacted on the elaboration of standards. Other areas to be covered include regulation/requirements relating to supply/availability of reference materials, the use of proficiency testing as a means of ensuring comparability, and, finally, some thoughts on what role BIPM/CCQM may play in the analysis of food.
