Measuring. Monitoring. Management. Control by A.S. Efremov, L.V. Lukichev

“…The article considers a set of models for the construction and operation of a departmental system of verification bodies, which consists of a number of models: the work distribution model allows one to describe the distribution of verification works in the established stationary mode of operation of the serviced objects and verification bodies; the network planning model allows one to describe the distribution of works in time, and the duration of work on servicing applications; the transport model allows one to describe the planning of methods and routes for delivering batches of measuring instruments to verificationdepartments, or the routes of movement of mobile verification laboratories; the system functioning model allows one to describe the processes of performing verification works in a territorially distributed departmental system of verification bodies with various options for constructing the system, distributing and organizing works; the model of expenses and incomes allows one to describe the processes of resource expenditure with various options for constructing verification bodies and organizing works. …”

Scientific Opinion on Norovirus (NoV) in oysters: methods, limits and control options by EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ)

“…Quantitative data on viral load from areas compliant with current EU legislative requirements (E. coli standards) during January‐March 2010 in 3 selected member states, show that a viral limit of 100, 200, 500, 1000 or 10.000 NoV PCR copies would result in 33.6‐88.9%, 24.4‐83.3%, 10.0‐72.2%, 7.7‐44.4% or 0‐11.1% of non‐compliant batches, respectively. Compliance with any of the above NoV limits would reduce the number of contaminated oysters placed on the market and therefore the risk for consumers to become infected. …”
