Overview
A bilingual sampling-plan decision workbench for UAE.S 1016:2017, the standard establishing microbiological criteria for foodstuffs. Read the sampling-plan parameters n, c, m and M for the food and microorganism from the standard's table, enter them with the laboratory result for each sample unit, and the acceptance logic delivers a documented accept or reject decision for the lot. The microbial swab limits for surfaces, hands and equipment are built in.
One interactive tool rather than a set of procedures, it works in the laboratory or at the inspection point with no connection, and it takes on the step where microbiological compliance most often goes wrong: interpreting two-class and three-class plans correctly.
What it does
- Food category and microorganism recorded, with a guide to where each plan sits in the standard's tables
- Sampling-plan parameters n, c, m and M entered from the standard for the combination chosen
- Result entry per sample unit, with the acceptance rule applied by the tool
- Two-class and three-class plan interpretation handled explicitly
- A documented lot accept or reject decision for the release record
Who it's for
Food-testing laboratories, municipal food-control sections, importers and QA teams releasing product against Gulf microbiological requirements, usually at the moment a certificate of analysis arrives and a lot stands waiting. Decisions become consistent across analysts, shifts and inspectors, and the reasoning survives to be re-read.
