2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. 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, mottled grains and grains overheated during drying SIST EN 15587:2009

3.3.1 shrivelled grains grains which after elimination of all other matter defined in this European standard pass through 20 mm slotted sieves with widths of the following dimensions:  common wheat
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 grains and their impurities consisting of grains which do not belong to the species of grain sampled or which are too unsound for being identified NOTE As durum wheat and common wheat are two different species, 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 owing to attack by insects, rodents, mites or other pests NOTE Grains attacked by wheat midge are considered unsound grains (3.5.2) only when more than half the surface 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 grain, they are classed with 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 If the germ is coloured only with one little spot, the grain is considered as sound or b) mottled which show a brown to brownish black discoloration elsewhere than on the germ itself and in particular in the crease NOTE 2 If the coloration is only in the crease, grains are considered as mottled only if the spot covers more than ¼ of the length of the crease. NOTE 3 This fraction only exists for Durum wheat.
(synonymous: Schwarzbesatz) fraction consisting of extraneous seeds, unsound grains, extraneous matter, husks, ergot, smutty 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 rendered unfit for human consumption and, as regards feed grain, for feed consumption, owing to putrefaction, mildew, grains affected with fungi, or bacterial or other causes NOTE 1 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 Grains attacked by wheat midge shall be considered unsound grains only when more than half the surface of the grain is coloured grey to black as a result of secondary cryptogamic attack. Where discoloration covers less then half the surface of the grain, they must be classed with grains damaged by pests. 3.5.3 extraneous matter all matter in a sample of cereals retained by a sieve with apertures of 3,5 mm and passing through a sieve with apertures of 1,0 mm, and stones, sand, fragments of straw and similar impurities in the sample which pass through a sieve with apertures of 3,5 mm and are retained by a sieve with apertures of 1,0 mm. NOTE Other cereals and particularly large grains of the basic cereal and ergot which are bigger than 3,5 mm are not extraneous matter. 3.5.4 husks glumes and grain husks SIST EN 15587:2009

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 6 Sampling It is important the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and has not been damaged or changed during transport and storage.
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
