Food and Mould Testing

At JCS Technology we offer a range of services
Microbiological techniques
 

Mould growth testing 

This is to test equipment, components or products for their resistance to mould under specific conditions. We can test to meet any recognised published standard or to your specification.    

 
1) Fungus or mould exposure testing based on a range of standards such as
 
MIL-STD-810A    MIL-STD-810B   MIL-STD-810C   MIL-STD-810D MIL-STD-810E  
MIL-STD-810F  MIL-STD-810G       
       
RTCA DO160                               BS 6085                  BS EN 60068-2-10          BS2011 Part 2.1J
 
DEF STAN 00-35 Part 3 CN1        Def STAN 07-55 Part 2 Section 3/1 Test C1 
DEF STAN 07-55 Part 2 Section 3/2  Test C1      
     
ISO846                ASTM G21        BS EN 14119             BS 3G-100 Part 2 Section 3
 
The purpose of this testing is to assess the extent to which material will support fungal growth  and how any fungal growth  may affect performance or the application of the product.  The product may be a material or a combination of materials used in an assembly.  
 
2) Aerobic and Non aerobic microbiological material
 
Examination of swabs from work surfaces and product'
National Standard Methods : MSOP 8, F11 , W2, w1, HPA -W1 
 
 
Mould identification.
We are able to identify and enumerate fungi and yeast collected on swab, dust or bulk samples, We can provide results to genus level. To achieve the samples need to be plated out so standard turn round time is about 7 days.

 

Shelf life testing 

The shelf-life test looks at how long a product will last within set conditions before micro-organism growth occurs. This enables businesses to confidently set their ‘use by’ dates.
