General technique for growing micro-organisms on the surface of an agar plate and calculating the result by a method giving good precision.

This Part of BS 5763 describes a general reference method for the enumeration of micro-organisms present in products intended for human consumption or feeding of animals, by counting the colonies growing on a solid medium after incubating aerobically at 30 °C.

A limitation on the applicability of this standard is imposed by the susceptibility of the method to a large degree of variability. A note at the end of clause 10 gives information that takes account of this and assists in the interpretation of the results.
