Application
for a CEN project on a Standard for Food Composition Data has been accepted |
| |
|
| ● |
The proposal for a new project on a Standard for Food
Composition Data was sent to CEN, the European Committee for
Standardization, from the SIS TC505 on 16 April.
On 17 July 2008, CEN replied
RESOLUTION BT C38/2008
Subject: Form A – Food Composition Data
BT,
- having considered the Form A submitted by SIS as included in BT N
7989;
decides,
- to create a New Project Committee, CEN/TC 387 “Project Committee –
Food composition data”, to work on a European standard according to the
specifications provided in Annexes I and II to BTN 7989;
- to ask the new Project Committee to submit its programme of work for
approval to BT by 2008-12-31
- to allocate the Chairmanship and Secretariat CEN/TC 387 “Project
Committee – Food composition data” to SIS;
- to thank SIS for taking this initiative.
This resolution is applicable as from: 2008-07-17.
Generally, approval of at least 5-6 CEN-members is
needed in order to start a new project. Many EuroFIR partners has assisted
actively in
this process by contacting their national standardisation organisations. A
list
of national members of CEN can be found on the CEN website. In the
advocacy of the proposal, the
Justification document was used as background material. This document
was also included in the application. |

The CEN
Standards Task Group ( WP1.8 TG1) |
| |
|
| ● |
The CEN Standards Task Group (TG1) will prepare the standards for food data
documentation by setting up a working group within CEN for establishing a
European Standard on food composition data, including necessary
documentation and quality criteria for management and data interchange. The
work will be coordinated through SIS (Swedish Standards Institute), the
Swedish CEN member, in collaboration with NFA. Once a CEN working group is
established, the CEN procedures will guide the formulation and execution of
the work program, with respect to the organisation of meetings/-workshops.
The task group involves SIS, NFA, IDUFIC, DFI, DFVF, AFSSA, IFR, NUBEL, NEVO
and ICETEC.
Tasks will include specifications on necessary documentation of
compositional data, e.g. components, foods, methods, values and quality
criteria, as a basis for their comparison, evaluation and interchange. The
TG is responsible for maintenance and update of all standard vocabulary used
in connection component description and value documentation.
A specific subtask of this group is to link information in the Chemical
Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) hosted by the European
Bioinformatics Institute to the EuroFIR component list.
The subtask will be carried out by IDUFIC, IFR, EBI and DFI.
