groups working on methods of analysis and sampling and quality assurance systems for laboratories;
specifies, on the basis of final recommendations submitted to it by the bodies referred to above,
reference methods of analysis and sampling appropriate to Codex standards which are generally
applicable to a number of foods; considers, amends if necessary, and endorses as appropriate methods
of analysis and sampling proposed by Codex commodity committees, except for methods of analysis and
sampling for residues of pesticides or veterinary drugs in food, the assessment of microbiological
quality and safety in food, and the assessment of specifications for food additives; elaborates sampling
plans and procedures, as may be required; considers specific sampling and analysis problems submitted to
it by the Commission or any of its Committees; and defines procedures, protocols, guidelines or related
