This paper describes all the steps carried out after having defined the method: assessor selection, basic and specific training. Qualification of assessors (individual performance checking) and method validation (panel performance checking) Due to the scarce references in sensory method accreditation. Many of the tests and criteria proposed are original. They could be helpful for other laboratories dealing with sensory quality control of food products. Especially those with quality distinctiveness labels.
