This document specifies the maximum content for alloying and residual elements (see Table 1) present in steel (usually called blackplate) used in the manufacture of packaging and packaging components or for coated steel which, as a finished product, are intended for use in direct contact with foodstuffs, products and beverages for human and pet food. For such use blackplate is normally coated but can be used uncoated for some fatty or dry products.
The main examples of use are:
— tinplate and electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel for the manufacture of food and beverage cans;
— cans for conditioning foodstuffs (sugar, tea, cake, chocolate, pasta, etc.);
— non-mineral oil drums, kegs, barrels.
The choice of material is appropriate for the conditions of use.
This document applies to cold-rolled strips in the form a coil or sheets.
This document does not apply to categories of steel other than steel for packaging intended for use in contact with foodstuffs, products or beverages for human or animal consumption.

This document specifies the base steel to be used and the composition of the metallic coating to be used for the manufacture of lacquered electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel and articles which, as a finished product, are intended for use in direct contact with foodstuffs or products for human or animal consumption.
The main examples of use are:
— drinks cans;
— food cans;
— closures and ends.
The material is be chosen in accordance with the conditions for its use.
This document does not apply to categories of steel other than steel for packaging intended for use in contact with foodstuffs, products or beverages for human or animal consumption.

This document establishes the minimum specifications for rice (Oryza sativa L.) that is subject to international trade. It is applicable to husked rice and milled rice (aromatic and not aromatic), parboiled or not, intended for direct human consumption. It does not apply to other products derived from rice nor to waxy rice (glutinous rice).

This International Standard specifies a spectrometric method for the determination of the chlorophyll content of rapeseed. It is not applicable to the determination of chlorophyll in oils.

This document specifies a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining the 16-O-methylcafestol content in green and roasted coffee.
The method described is suitable with a reasonable precision for a content of 40 mg to 1 600 mg of 16-O-methylcafestol per kg of green and roasted coffee respectively. The collaborative study has shown that concentrations also between 20 to 40 mg/kg can be successfully analysed depending on the laboratory equipment.

This International standard method specifies a procedure for the determination of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons (from C10 to C50) in vegetable fats and oils using the online-coupled HPLC-GCFID
([1],[2] and[3]). This standard is not intended to be applied to other matrices.
The method is applicable for the analysis of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and/or mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).
According to the results of the interlaboratory studies, the method has been proven suitable for MOSH mass concentrations above 3 mg/kg and MOAH mass concentrations above 2 mg/kg.
In case of suspected interferences, the fossil origin of the MOSH and MOAH fraction can be verified by examination by GC⨯GC-MS.
An alternative method for the epoxidation of the MOAH fraction (performic acid epoxidation) is proposed in Annex C. This alternative method provides comparable results to the ethanolic epoxidation of the MOAH fraction described in 8.5. This alternative method for epoxidation has proven to be efficient for samples with a high amount of interferences in the MOAH fraction (e.g. tropical oils)[13].
