Overview

ISO 1446:2001/Amd 1:2011 is an important international standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides an amendment to the basic reference method for determining water content in green coffee. Titled "Green Coffee - Determination of Water Content - Basic Reference Method - Amendment 1", this document updates the original ISO 1446:2001 to ensure accuracy, safety, and consistency in laboratory testing procedures within the coffee industry.

This amendment, published in 2011 by ISO Technical Committee 34/Subcommittee 15 (Food Products - Coffee), refines essential laboratory practices and highlights the need for users to maintain compliance with national safety and hygiene regulations when performing moisture content analysis of raw coffee beans.

Key Topics

  • Water Content Determination
    The standard focuses on establishing a reliable and precise method to measure the moisture level in green coffee. Moisture content is a critical quality parameter affecting storage, processing, and flavor development.

  • Basic Reference Method
    The amendment updates the fundamental laboratory procedures for moisture testing, serving as the reference baseline for quality control and official testing laboratories worldwide.

  • Laboratory Safety and Hygiene Warning
    The document includes an explicit notice advising users to be familiar with routine laboratory safety measures. It emphasizes that the standard itself does not cover all safety concerns and that users must ensure adherence to local regulatory and safety requirements during application.

  • International Standardization and Compliance
    The amendment reflects consensus among international experts, reinforcing conformity and harmonization of coffee quality testing across global markets.

Applications

  • Coffee Industry Quality Assurance
    Coffee producers and processors use this standard to verify moisture content before export, storage, or roasting, which directly impacts bean preservation and flavor quality.

  • Regulatory Testing Laboratories
    National and international testing bodies apply this method as a trusted reference for official quality certification and compliance purposes.

  • Research and Development
    Food scientists and product developers rely on the consistent water content measurement to study coffee bean properties and optimize processing parameters.

  • Trade and Inspection
    Importers, exporters, and inspection agents employ the standard to authenticate product quality, supporting fair trade practices and preventing spoilage-related disputes.
