Full title and description

ISO 10560:1993/Cor 1:1994 — Milk and milk products — Detection of Listeria monocytogenes — Technical Corrigendum 1. This corrigendum provides technical/editorial corrections to the original ISO 10560:1993 method for detecting Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products.

Abstract

This document is a one‑page technical corrigendum (Cor 1) published in April 1994 that amends/clarifies specific items of the ISO 10560:1993 detection method for Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products. The original standard specifies a three‑stage approach (selective liquid enrichment, isolation and presumptive identification, confirmation); the corrigendum supplies technical corrections to the published text.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn.
• Publication date: April 1994 (Corrigendum edition 1).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 07.100.30 — Food microbiology.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1994 corrigendum to ISO 10560:1993).
• Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum). For context, the main ISO 10560:1993 standard is 12 pages.

Scope

The corrigendum applies to the ISO 10560:1993 procedure for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products. The underlying method (as corrected) is intended to guide laboratory detection through enrichment in selective liquid medium, isolation with selective agar, presumptive identification and final confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes. The corrigendum itself is limited to specified technical/textual corrections and does not replace the full method text.

Key topics and requirements

• Technical corrections to the published ISO 10560:1993 detection procedure (editorial and method clarifications).
• Target organism: Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products.
• Three‑stage detection workflow: selective enrichment, isolation/presumptive identification, confirmation.
• Specification of culture media, incubation conditions and confirmatory tests as given in the parent standard (with the corrigendum clarifications).
• Intended use: routine testing, quality control and regulatory surveillance of dairy products (where applicable).

Typical use and users

Primary users are food microbiology laboratories, dairy industry quality/control personnel, public health and food safety regulators, and standards bodies that implement or reference laboratory detection methods for Listeria in dairy products. The corrigendum is used only as an amendment to the original ISO 10560:1993 text. For current testing practice, laboratories typically follow later horizontal methods (for example the ISO 11290 series) where applicable.

Related standards

Related and successor documents of interest include the original ISO 10560:1993 (the main method), and broader horizontal Listeria methods such as ISO 11290‑1/‑2 (detection and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp.), plus ISO general microbiology standards (for example ISO 7218 and ISO 18593) used for method validation, sampling and laboratory practice. Users should consult the latest editions of those standards for current, consolidated procedures.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10560:1993/Cor 1:1994 is a technical corrigendum (one‑page amendment) to ISO 10560:1993, the ISO method for detection of Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It provides specific technical/editorial corrections to the original published detection method; the parent standard specifies a three‑stage microbiological approach (selective enrichment, isolation/presumptive ID, confirmation). The corrigendum itself is limited to those corrections and does not contain the full method text.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Food microbiology laboratories, dairy quality control and regulatory laboratories, and organizations that implement or reference ISO methods for Listeria testing in dairy products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum and the original ISO 10560:1993 are listed as withdrawn in ISO records. Laboratories are advised to use current horizontal Listeria methods (for example the ISO 11290 series and other up‑to‑date ISO documents) and to consult their national/regulatory guidance for the accepted reference method.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10560:1993 is a standard produced by ISO/TC 34/SC 5 (milk and milk products) and the corrigendum (Cor 1) directly amends that edition. More recent and horizontal Listeria standards are published in the ISO 11290 series (part 1: detection; part 2: enumeration).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Listeria monocytogenes; milk; dairy products; detection; ISO 10560; corrigendum; food microbiology; enrichment; isolation; confirmation.
