ISO/TS 11133-1:2009 is a standard that provides guidelines on the preparation and production of culture media in a laboratory setting. It focuses on quality assurance to ensure that the culture media used for microbiological analysis of food, animal feeding stuffs, and water meet the minimum requirements.

The standard covers four categories of culture media used in laboratories: commercially manufactured ready-to-use media, media to be remelted, supplemented, and distributed, media prepared from commercially available dehydrated formulations, and media prepared from individual components.

The purpose of this standard is to establish a common terminology related to quality assurance and to ensure that the culture media used in microbiological analysis are of high quality and provide accurate results. This is important for the safety and quality control of food, animal feeding stuffs, and water.
