The 3rd International MicroVal Symposium 'Five years of validations: past and future' provides an excellent forum to learn about the latest developments regarding microbiological method validation based on EN-ISO 16140:2003 for food safety testing. The purpose of the International MicroVal Symposium is to provide method developers and suppliers, and food safety professionals worldwide with a forum to exchange information. We invite you to join us to network and to learn from the experts in the field.

The standard EN-ISO 16140:2003 describes the process for the validation of alternative (usually proprietary) microbiological methods for food safety testing. European Community legislation demands from microbiological method developers for food safety testing that their methods are validated in accordance with EN-ISO 16140:2003.
