2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 6644, Flowing cereals and milled cereal products — Automatic sampling by mechanical means (ISO 6644:2002) EN ISO 13690, Cereals, pulses and milled products — Sampling of static batches (ISO 13690:1999) prEN ISO 24333, Cereals and cereal products — Sampling (ISO/DIS 24333:2006) ISO 5223, Test sieves for cereals 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Besatz all matter of a sample of grain other than the basic cereal of unimpaired quality NOTE 1 It comprises the four fractions: broken grains, grain impurities, sprouted grains and miscellaneous impurities. NOTE 2 Live pests are not considered as Besatz. They are specified as a separate criterion. NOTE 3 A schematic summary on Besatz is given in Annex A. NOTE 4 Pictures of examples are given in [9]. 3.2 broken grains all grains belonging to the basic cereal not damaged by pests and whose endosperm is partially uncovered, including grains damaged by threshing and grains from which the germ has been removed !3.3 grain impurities fraction consisting of shrivelled grains, other cereals, grains damaged by pests, grains in which the germ is discoloured (only for common and durum wheat), mottled grains (only for durum wheat) and grains overheated during drying Note 1 to entry: For common wheat, grains in which the germ is discoloured are disregarded up to 8 %." SIST EN 15587:2009+A1:2013

2,0 mm  durum wheat
1,9 mm  rye
1,8 mm  feed barley
2,2 mm  feed barley with moisture content below 12,5% 2,0 mm and grains damaged by frost and unripe grains (green) NOTE Frost damaged kernels can show the following appearance: black or brown discoloration, bleached or blistered, distinctly wax-like or candied surface. Frequently they have dark stripes showing through the sides of the kernel. !3.3.2 other cereals all cereals grains, whatever their state, not belonging to the considered species Note 1 to entry: In a durum wheat sample, all common wheat grains and their grain dockage components are classified as other cereals and vice versa. 3.3.3 grains damaged by pests grains which show visible damage due to attack by insects, rodents, mites or other pests Note 1 to entry: Grains attacked by wheat midge are considered unsound grains (3.5.2) only when more than half the surface of the back of the grain is coloured grey to black as a result of secondary cryptogamic attack. Where discoloration covers less than half the surface of the back of the grain, they are classed as grains damaged by pests. 3.3.4 grains with discoloured germ, mottled grains grains either a) with discoloured germ in which the tegument covering the germ is coloured brown to brownish black and in which the germ is normal and not sprouted; Note 1 to entry: If the germ is coloured only with one little spot, the grain is considered sound. Note 2 to entry: This fraction only exists for common wheat and durum wheat. Note 3 to entry: For common wheat these grains are disregarded up to 8 %. or b) mottled which show a brown to brownish black discoloration elsewhere than on the germ itself, particularly in the crease Note 4 to entry: If the coloration is only in the crease, grains are considered mottled only if the spot covers more than 1/4 of the length of the crease. Note 5 to entry: This fraction only exists for durum wheat." SIST EN 15587:2009+A1:2013

(synonymous: Schwarzbesatz)=fraction consisting of extraneous seeds, unsound grains, extraneous matter, husks, ergot, bunted grains and impurities of animal origin" 3.5.1 extraneous seeds seeds of plants, whether or not cultivated, other than cereals NOTE 1 They comprise noxious and not noxious seeds. Noxious seeds means seeds which are toxic to humans and animals. This group also includes seeds hampering or complicating the cleaning and milling of cereals and seeds affecting the quality of products processed from cereals. NOTE 2 In some cases it may be necessary to distinguish between noxious seeds and not noxious seeds. An indicative list of noxious seeds is given in Annex A of ISO 7970:2000 [4]. !3.5.2 unsound grains grains of the species or another cereal rendered unfit for human consumption and, regarding feed grain, for feed consumption, owing to putrefaction, mildew, grains affected with fungi (such as fusarium), bacterial or other causes Note 1 to entry: Unsound grains also include grains damaged by spontaneous heat generation or too extreme heating during drying which are fully grown grains in which the tegument is coloured greyish-brown to black while the cross-section of the kernel is coloured-yellowish grey to brownish-black. Note 2 to entry: Grains attacked by wheat midge are considered unsound grains only when more than half the surface of the back of the grain is coloured grey to black as a result of secondary cryptogamic attack. Where discoloration covers less than half the surface of the back of the grain, they need to be classed with grains damaged by pests. Note 3 to entry: Grains affected with fusariosis are grains whose pericarp is contaminated with Fusarium mycelium; such grains look often slightly shrivelled, wrinkled and have pink or white diffuse patches with an ill-defined outline. Grains affected by fusariosis are the major source of mycotoxins. SIST EN 15587:2009+A1:2013

grains filled with a fetid-smelling dust comprising the spores of smuts (Ustilago spp.) or brown-black spores of bunt (Tilletia spp.)
3.5.7 impurities of animal origin impurities originating from animals such as feathers, hairs, excrements, dead insects and fragment of insects 4 Principle The principle of this method is to separate all the groups of Besatz, defined under 3.1, from the normal basic grains by sieving and manual selection. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Sample divider 5.2 Balance, capable to weighing to the nearest 0,01 g 5.3 Sieves machine fitted with a cover and a receiver, the slot-widths 3,5 mm × 20,0 mm, 2,2 mm × 20,0 mm, 2,0 mm × 20,0 mm, 1,9 mm × 20,0 mm, 1,8 mm × 20,0 mm, 1,0 mm × 20,0 mm, in accordance with the specification of ISO 5223 5.4 Sieving machine allowing a forceful horizontal backward and forward movement of the sieves, e.g. vibrator base with mounted sieves, or a shaking sieve 5.5 Magnifying glass, illuminated 5.6 Forceps or horn spatula 5.7 Pots, for retaining components SIST EN 15587:2009+A1:2013

Sampling is not part of the method specified in this International Standard. Recommended sampling methods are given in EN ISO 6644, EN ISO 13690 and prEN ISO 24333. 7 Procedure (see diagram in Annex B) Prepare by division a representative sample of around 250 g (a) and weigh it to the nearest 0,1 g. This sample is sieved on a sieve column (one above with an aperture of 3,5 mm and the second under with an aperture of 1,0 mm) for 30 s either with a sieving machine (5.4), or by hand. If sieving is performed by hand, it must consist of horizontal movements parallel to the length of the slots (around one backward and forward movement per second). The matter retained by the sieve with slotted perforations of 3,5 mm (5.3) and that passed through the sieves with slotted perforations of 1,0 mm (5.3), except other cereals and particularly large grains of the basic cereal and ergot, shall be weighed together and regarded as extraneous matter. Stones, mud balls, straws, chaff and similar impurities from the overtails of the 1,0 mm slotted sieve (5.3) have to be picked out. Both fractions are weighted and are regarded as extraneous matter (3.5.3).
Impurities of animal origin should be counted, including those which passed through the sieve of 1,0 mm slot-width (5.3). If necessary, a magnifying glass (5.5) should be used. NOTE The count should be quoted separately in numbers per kg of common wheat, durum wheat, rye or feed barley as appropriate. Remove ergot from the overtails of the 1,0 mm slotted sieve (5.3) and weigh to 0,01 g accurately. The fraction retained is divided with the sample divider (5.1) to obtain a sub sample (c) between 50 g and 100 g. Weigh it to the nearest 0,1 g. This partial sample is spread out on a table and fractions defined in Clause 3 are extracted by means of forceps or a horn spatula (5.6). In case multiple kinds of damages are observed, the damaged grain shall be added to the fraction with the highest importance for the overall quality. In rye samples with respect of natural variability of the colour of rye grains, grains with discoloured germ or mottled grains (3.3.4) are not picked out. If the partial sample contains unthreshed grains of the basic cereals, remove the grains from the glumes by hand and add them to the fraction husks (3.5.4). This sub sample without all the impurities is sieved for 30 s on a sieve (5.3) with an aperture of 2,0 mm for common wheat, 1,9 mm for durum wheat, 1,8 mm for rye, 2,2 mm for barley (2,0 mm if moisture content of barley is less than 12,5 %). All elements passing through are considered as shrivelled grains. Weigh the Besatz-free overtails of the 1,0 mm sieve (d) and all the groups of Besatz to the nearest 0,01 g. If, for a partial sample, the sum of broken grains (3.2), shrivelled grains (3.3.1), other cereals (3.3.2), grains damaged by pests (3.3.3), grains in which the germ is discoloured (3.3.4) grains overheated during drying (3.3.5), sprouted grains (3.4), extraneous seeds (3.5.1), unsound grains (3.5.2), husks (3.5.4), bunted grains (3.5.6) and the weight of the Besatz-free overtails of the 1,0 mm sieve (d) differs by more than 0,5 % from the sub sample weight (c), the determination is not valid and a new partial sample must be analysed.
