Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www. iso. org/d irectives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www. iso. org/p atents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 11,
Animal and vegetable fats and oils.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 6883:2007), of which it constitutes a
minor revision to exclude its applicability for fat coming from milk and milk products and to include
further precision data.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6883:2017(E)
Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
conventional mass per volume (litre weight in air)
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the conventional mass per volume (“litre
weight in air”) of animal and vegetable fats and oils (hereinafter referred to as fats) in order to convert
volume to mass or mass to volume.
The procedure is applicable to fats only when they are in a liquid state. Milk and milk products (or fat
coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this document.
NOTE The determination of conventional mass per volume (litre weight in air) using the oscillating U-tube
method can be found in ISO 18301.
