Overview

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of conventional mass per volume ("litre weight in air") of animal and vegetable fats and oils (hereinafter referred to as fats) in order to convert volume to mass or mass to volume. The procedure is applicable only to fats in a liquid state. The temperature of determination applied for any fat should be such that the fat does not deposit crystals at that temperature. The International Standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 34/SC 11 "Animal and vegetable fats and oils" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). The responsible body for the European Standard is CEN/TC 307 "Oil seeds, vegetable and animal fats and oils and their by-products - Methods of sampling and analysis" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). On the national level, the standard is supervised by NA 057-05-05 AA "Gemeinschaftsausschuss für die Analytik von fetten, Ölen, Fettprodukten, verwandten Stoffen und Rohstoffen" (GA Fett) of the German Fat Research Society (DGF) ("Joint committee for the analysis of fats, oils and products thereof, related and primary products") and NAL.
