ÖNORM EN 15634-8

Issue date: 2026 02 01

Foodstuffs - Detection of food allergens by molecular biological methods - Part 8: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea), hazelnut (Corylus spp.), walnut (Juglans regia) and cashew (Anacardium occidentale) - Qualitative detection of specific DNA sequences in food by real-time PCR

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of the species-specific DNA of peanut (Arachis hypogaea), hazelnut (Corylus spp.), walnut (Juglans regia) and cashew (Anacardium occidentale) in food of animal and plant origin, using real-time PCR, in the context of allergen analyses. The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial) and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of defined proportions of peanut, hazelnut, walnut and cashew in rice biscuits, cooked sausage, sauce powder, vegan cookie and veggie burger (powder). The limit of detection of each real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be about 5 mg/kg (10 mg/kg for roasted peanuts).

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM EN 15634-8

When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.

Find out more about the benefits of multi-user licences

Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
