                                                  Methods of analysis1
 1 . Determination of Bomer value
     The Bomer value must be determined according to the method know, as the diethyl ether
     method or the acetone method .
     {Source : ISO /TC 34/SC 6/WG 3 /N 73 ).
2. Determination of peroxide value
     The peroxide value must be determined according to the D H Wheeler iodometric method.
     {Source : Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Fettwissenschaft, Einheitsmethoden C VI 6 a (61).
3 . Determination of free fatty acids content
     The free fatty acids content must be determined by neutralisation of the free fatty acids
     according to ISO method R 660.
     {Source : ISO/TC 34 (seer. — 239) 320E).
4. Determination of water and dirt content in products falling within CCT heading No 15.01 A II
     The water content must be determined according to ISO method R 933 and the dirt content
     according to ISO method R 932.
     {Source : ISO /TC 34 ( Seer. — 371 ) 437 E) ;
     {Source : ISO/TC 34 (Seer. — 367) 433 E).
5 . Determination of water content in products falling within CCT headings Nos 16.01 and 16.02
     The water content must be determined according to ISO method PR No 1442.
     {Source : ISO /TC 34 ( Seer. — 260) 447 E).
6 . Determination of protein content
     The protein content shall be taken to mean the nitrogen content multiplied by the factor
     6 -25 . The nitrogen content must be determined according to ISO method PR No 1233 .
     {Source : ISO /TC 34 (Seer — 327) 374 F).
7. Calculation of extraneous water content
     The extraneous water content is given by the formula : a — (4b), in which :
     a = water content,
     b = protein content.
8. Determination of collagen content
     The collagen content shall be taken to mean the hydroxyproline content multiplied by the
     factor 8 .
     The hydroxyproline content must be determined according to one of the methods indicated
     in the following documents of the ISO Secretariat :
     ISO/TC 34/SC 6/WG 2 doc No 138 ,
     ISO/TC 34/SC 6/WG 2 doc No 140,
     ISO /TC 34/SC 6/WG 2 doc No 153 ,
     ISO/TC 34/SC 6/WG 2 doc No 163 .
     The choice of method is left to the exporting Member State.
