The Codex Secretariat announced here, on July 14th the implementation of the system and as of today, the following requests for comments at step 6 have been made through the OCS:
- CL 2016/19-NFSDU - Draft NRV-R for Vitamin E
- CL 2016/23-SCH - Draft Standard for Cumin
- CL 2016/24-SCH - Draft Standard for Thyme
- CL 2016/25-MMP - Draft Standard for Dairy Permeate Powders
- CL 2016/26-FICS - Draft Guidance for Monitoring the Performance of National Food Control Systems
- CL 2016/27-PR - Draft Guidelines on Performance Criteria for Methods of Analysis for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Food
- CL 2016/30-FFV - Draft Standard for Aubergines
The current list of Circular Letters can be consulted here.
Codex members and observers are invited to read the OCS user manual. Usernames for members are the three-digit ISO codes also used to login to the Codex website; observers’ usernames consist of their acronym as listed on the Codex website. Passwords have been automatically generated by the system and may be changed after login.

At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.
Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations
contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.

around the world since ancient times.
We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
