Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote. iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW

Introduction
A sensory analysis panel constitutes a true “measuring instrument”, and
consequently the results of the analyses conducted will depend on its
members.

The recruitment of persons willing to participate in a panel therefore needs


to be carried out with care and to be considered as a real investment, both
in time and financially.

Sensory assessment may be made by three types of assessor:

- “assessors”,

- “selected assessors”, and


iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
- “experts”.
(standards.iteh.ai)
Assessors can be “naive assessors” who do not have to meet any precise
criterion, ISO
or 8586-1:1993
“initiated assessors” who have already participated in sensory
tests.
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/fca79079-46a4-446b-b5a2-
5ebe778eb7c4/iso-8586-1-1993
“Selected assessors” are assessors who have been selected and trained.

” Experts ” can be “expert assessors” who have already demonstrated


particular acuity in panel work and have developed a good long-term
memory, or “specialized expert assessors” who draw on additional
knowledge gained in particular fields.

This part of IS0 8586 concerns only the recruitment, selection, training
and monitoring of candidates intended to become selected assessors. The
recruitment, selection, training and monitoring of candidates intended to
become experts will form the subject of IS0 8586-2.

The selection and training methods to be employed depend on the tasks


which one intends to give the selected assessors. It should be pointed out
that these methods sometimes only constitute a way of choosing the
better candidates among those who are available, rather than those who
satisfy predetermined criteria. This is particularly the case when it is
necessary to constitute internal panels.

A preliminary selection of candidates has to be undertaken at the recruit-


ment stage, in order to eliminate those who would be unsuited for sensory
analysis. However, the final selection can only be made after training and
the completion of the envisaged tasks.

The recommended procedure involves

a) recruitment and preliminary screening of na’ive assessors;

b) training of naive assessors who will become initiated assessors;

V
IS0 8586=1:1993(E)

c) selection of initiated assessors according to ability to perform particular


tests; they will then become selected assessors;

selection following the performance of an actual sensory assessment


(useful in the case of descriptive analyses);

possible training of selected assessors to become expert assessors.


In certain cases (especially for descriptive sensory analysis), the panel may
be divided into specialized sub-groups.
The exact procedures covered by a) and b) and the nature of the tests
performed in c) and d) depend on the tasks which the panel is to perform.
The performance of selected assessors should be monitored regularly to
ensure that the criteria by which they were initially selected continue to
be met.
The entire process is illustrated in the following diagram.
