ANNEX IU.K.CEREALS

PART IVU.K.Methods used in order to determine the quality of cereals offered for intervention

To determine the quality of cereals offered for intervention, the following methods shall be used:

(a)

the standard method for determining matter other than basic cereals of unimpaired quality shall be that set out in Part V to this Annex;

(b)

[F1the reference method for determining the moisture content:

  • for maize: standard EN ISO 6540,

  • for cereals other than maize: standard EN ISO 712, or

  • an infrared technology-based method.

In the event of a dispute, only the results of standard EN ISO 6540 for maize and EN ISO 712 for cereals other than maize are to considered valid;

(c)

(e)

the reference method for determining the protein content in durum wheat and ground common wheat: that set out in:

  • standard EN ISO 20483, or

  • standard CEN ISO/TS 16634-2.

In the event of a dispute, only the results obtained from applying standard EN ISO 20483 are to be considered valid;

(f)

the reference method for determining the Zeleny index of ground common wheat: that set out in standard EN ISO 5529;

(g)

the reference method for determining the Hagberg falling number (amylase activity test): that set out in standard EN ISO 3093;

(h)

the reference method for determining the rate of loss of the vitreous aspect of durum wheat: that set out in standard EN 15585;

(i)

the reference method for determining the specific weight: that set out in standard EN ISO 7971/3;

(j)

the sampling and analysis methods for establishing the rate of mycotoxins: those referred to in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 and set out in Annexes I and II to Commission Regulation (EC) (1) No 401/2006]
