FAQ

Commercial questions

Why should intended use be included?

Food, feed and industrial applications may use different grades, safety limits and documentary bases.

How should mycotoxin requirements be written?

State the named analyte, maximum limit, unit, sampling or test basis and any required evidence.

Are moisture and test weight interchangeable?

No. They describe different properties and should be stated separately when both are material.
