This document establishes a method for estimation by sensory analysis of the cooking quality of alimentary pasta. Estimation takes place through the evaluation of the following: — firmness, by chewing; — liveliness, by manual handling; — starch release, by manual handling. This document does not express a preference and only gives an estimate relating to the evaluation of the cooking of the pasta. It does not apply to small pasta shapes usually consumed in soups. This document is applicable to all forms of alimentary pasta produced from durum wheat and to products made from common wheat or a mixture of common wheat and durum wheat. NOTE National regulations can apply. This document has been specifically designed to establish the reference method with a view to the development, approval or monitoring of instrumental or practical methods of sensory analysis.

1.1 This document specifies four rapid methods for estimating the degree of, or detecting the presence of, hidden insect infestation with sampling (see Clauses 4 to 6) or without sampling (on-site probing, see Clause 7) in a cereal or pulse lot.
NOTE The characteristics leading to the choice of rapid method are summarized in ISO 6639-1:2025, Table 1.
1.2 The method by determination of carbon dioxide production (see Clause 4) is applicable to testing whole grains. It does not apply to testing:
a) finely ground grain products, as there is a risk that particles of material will be sucked up with air samples; or
b) grain products with moisture contents greater than a mass fraction of 15 %, because of the risk of carbon dioxide produced by the products themselves and by microorganisms interfering with the results.
In addition, the method does not apply to the rapid testing of grain products onto which carbon dioxide has already been adsorbed in large quantities (e.g. grain stored in a confined atmosphere, when there are clear external indications of heavy infestation).
The method is applicable to coarsely milled or kibbled grain products, provided that they have been sieved before testing to remove fine particles and loose insects.
The method does not permit the presence of dead adults.
1.3 The whole grain flotation method (see Clause 5) is applicable to detecting hidden infestation in most cereals and pulses but only on a qualitative basis.
1.4 The acoustic method operating on a grain sample (see Clause 6) is applicable to detecting living (and active) insects (larvae and adults before their emergence from a kernel) inside grains in a sample. It does not permit dead adults and larvae or living eggs and pupae (non-feeding stages) to be detected.
1.5 The on-site assessment acoustic method (see Clause 7) is applicable to detecting adult insects and larvae feeding on the grain inside without taking samples. It does not apply to detecting inactive stages (eggs, nymph and moulting).

This document specifies a method for the quantitative determination of 17 mycotoxins in cereals and cereal products (e.g. wheat, maize, husked rice, rice and their products) using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry method (UHPLC-MS/MS). The 17 mycotoxins are aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2, deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, fumonisin B1, fumonisin B2, fumonisin B3, T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin and sterigmatocystin. This document does not apply to foods for infants and young children. This document is applicable to other products (e.g. nuts) provided that the method is validated for each individual case. The calibration range of the method and the validated range during the interlaboratory study for each mycotoxin are listed in Table A.1.

It is applicable to sampling for the determination of heterogeneously distributed contaminants, undesirable substances and parameters usually homogenously distributed, such as those used to assess quality or compliance with a specification. It is applicable to daily use in the field, and in silos and factories that ship or receive grains. It does not apply to determining insect infestation in a grain lot. Methods for assessing insect populations are provided in ISO 16002 and ISO 6639-2. This document does not apply to seeds.

This document specifies a method of determining, using an Alveograph, the rheological properties of different types of dough obtained from common wheat flour (Triticum aestivum L.) produced by industrial milling or laboratory milling.
It describes the Alveograph test and how to use a laboratory mill to produce flour in two stages:
—    stage 1: preparation of the wheat grain for milling to make it easier to separate the bran from the endosperm;
—    stage 2: the milling process, including breaking between three fluted rollers, reduction of particle size between two smooth rollers and the use of a centrifugal sieving machine to grade the products.

The method has been validated for HT-2 toxin in oat flour at levels of 9,3 µg/kg and 28,1 µg/kg, oat flakes at levels of 16,5 µg/kg and 21,4 µg/kg, and breakfast cereals (containing oat flakes) at a level of 8,1 µg/kg and for T-2 toxin in oat flour at levels of 4,4 µg/kg and 8,3 µg/kg, oat flakes at levels of 4,9 µg/kg and 6,6 µg/kg and breakfast cereals (containing oat flakes) at a level of 3,5 µg/kg.
Laboratory experiences [6] have shown that the method is also applicable to highly swelling materials (dry cereal-based porridges and modified starches), but these were not examined in the method validation study. Details are outlined in 7.3.
The method can also be applied to oat-by-products at higher levels of T-2- and HT-2 toxin. In this case, the dilution steps need to be considered [6].
The method can also be applied to cereals and cereal products for infants and young children based on e.g. wheat, barley and rice. In this case, the method needs to be in-house-validated for each material. At the time of the interlaboratory study, planned range was 10 µg/kg to 100 µg/kg, and it is known from the pre-study that the method works well in the whole range, although final validation was only done in the range from 3,5 µg/kg to 28,1 µg/kg.

This document describes a method for the determination of the sum of six ergot alkaloids (ergocornine, ergometrine, ergocristine, ergotamine, ergosine and ergocryptine) and their -inine epimer pairs by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) after clean-up by dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE).
The method has been validated in the range 13,2 µg/kg to 168 µg/kg for the sum of the twelve ergot alkaloids, in rye flour, rye bread and cereal products (breakfast cereal, infant breakfast cereal, and crispbread) that contained rye as an ingredient, as well as seeded wholemeal flour and a barley and rye flour mixture.
Method performance was satisfactory in the range 24,1 µg/kg to 168 µg/kg, however at lower concentrations RSDR values were greater than 44 %, and HorRat values exceeded 2,0, indicating the method may not be fully suitable at concentrations below 24 µg/kg for sum of ergot alkaloids, although it is suitable for screening at these concentrations.

This document specifies two methods:
- a reference method for the determination of the moisture content of maize grains and ground whole maize, groats, grits and maize flour, see Clause 4;
- a routine method for the evaluation of the moisture content of maize in whole grains, see Clause 5.
The latter is not suitable for use for experts' reports, or for calibration or checking of humidity meters, because of its significant bias to the reference method (see Table B.3).

This document establishes the minimum specifications for rice (Oryza sativa L.) that is subject to international trade. It is applicable to husked rice and milled rice (aromatic and not aromatic), parboiled or not, intended for direct human consumption. It does not apply to other products derived from rice nor to waxy rice (glutinous rice).

This document defines a routine method for the determination of moisture and protein contents in whole kernels of wheat and barley using near infrared spectroscopy in the constituent ranges:
-   for wheat:
-   moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;
-   protein content minimum range from 7 %DM to 20 %DM.
-   for barley:
-   moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;
-   protein content minimum range from 7 %DM to 16 %DM.
This document describes the modalities to be implemented by the supplier (5.3 and 5.4) and the user of the method.
