November launch for webinars on methods of analysis and sampling
Codex recommended methods of analysis are particularly important for checking compliance with provisions in Codex standards. Foundation texts developed by the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS), such as The General Standard on Methods of Analysis and Sampling, CX234, provide an essential reference for food business operators and analysts.
The upcoming webinar series, taking place online from 23 to 25 November 2020, will include a session with experts from Standard Development Organizations (SDOs), who will hold an open meeting on Monday 23 November. Countries leading the work on drafting updates to a series of Codex provisions will then run sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday (24, 25 November) to review the status of work and encourage participation in these workgroups prior to the next full session of the committee, currently scheduled for May 2021 in Budapest, Hungary.
Chairperson Attila Nagy encouraged all countries to take part: “If, like me, you love laboratory work and the statistical problems behind measurement uncertainty and you would like to know what has been happening in the Committee, then join us in November”, he said.

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.
