Overview
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the refractive index of animal and vegetable fats and oils. Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this document. The International Standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 34/SC 11 "Animal and vegetable fats and oils" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom) of Technical Committee ISO/TC 34 "Food products" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). CEN/TC 307 "Oilseeds, vegetable and animal fats and oils and their by-products - Sampling and test methods" (secretariat: AFNOR, France) is responsible for the European Standard. On the national level, "Gemeinschaftsausschuss für die Analytik von Fetten, Ölen, Fettprodukten, verwandten Stoffen und Rohstoffen" (GA Fett) ("Joint Committee for the analysis of fats, oil, fat products, related substances and raw materials") of the German Society for Fat Science (DGF) and DIN Standards Committee Food and Agricultural Products (NAL) is responsible for the standard.
