This document establishes an overall framework covering qualitative and quantitative methods for the determination of food allergens and allergenic ingredients using mass spectrometry-based methods for the determination of specific peptides/proteins. This document provides general guidelines and performance criteria applicable to this methodology. Guidelines, minimum requirements and performance criteria laid down in this document are intended to ensure that comparable and reproducible results are obtained by different analysts, instrumentation and laboratories.

This document specifies a simulating method of test for determination of the release of metal-ions from enamelled articles, which are intended to come into contact with food.

It also specifies limits for the release of metal-ions from enamelled articles, which are intended to come into contact with food.

It is applicable to enamelled articles, including tanks and vessels, which are intended to be used for the preparation, cooking, serving and storage of food.

This European Standard establishes safety requirements for food depositors. This group of machines is defined in detail in clause 3.2 of this standard, with diagrams illustrating examples of the principle of operation of each machine type.

This standard covers the safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning. This standard applies to machines manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

NOTE Although this standard is primarily intended to apply to depositors used in the food industry, it should also be noted that the same machines are also used to deposit non-food products. Where depositors are used for non-food products, the health and safety requirements of this standard will apply, but the hygiene requirements will not apply.

Exclusions

This standard is not applicable to the following machines:

- Auger depositors or auger fillers and gravimetric filling machines; safety requirements for these machines are contained in EN 415-3:2000.

- Food depositors that are powered exclusively by manual effort;

 - Food depositors that were manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN;

This standard does not consider the following hazards:

- the use of food depositors in potentially explosive atmospheres;

- the health, safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products that may be handled by the machines,-but does include general advice on this subject;

 -hazards that may be associated with electromagnetic emissions from food depositors;

 -hazards that may be associated with decommissioning food depositors.

This document specifies a titrimetric method for the determination of iodine value in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, hereinafter referred as FAME.

The precision statement of this test method was determined in a Round Robin exercise with iodine values in the range 111 g iodine/100 g to 129 g iodine/100 g.

The test method is also applicable for lower iodine values, however, the precision statement is not established for iodine values below 111 g iodine/100 g.

WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the document, and to determine the applicability of any other restrictions for this purpose.
