Overview
SIST EN ISO 3727-1:2002 is an internationally recognized European standard for the determination of moisture content in butter. Developed by CEN in collaboration with ISO/TC 34 and the International Dairy Federation (IDF), this standard specifies the reference method for moisture analysis in butter. The method ensures accurate and consistent measurement of moisture levels, which is critical for quality control, product labeling, and compliance in the dairy industry.
This standard supersedes EN ISO 3727:1995 and was approved for adoption across Europe by national standard bodies. It is part of a series focused on butter analysis, including methods for determining non-fat solids and fat contents.
Key Topics
Scope: SIST EN ISO 3727-1:2002 defines a reference procedure for measuring the moisture content of butter, which is expressed as a percentage by mass.
Method Principle: The test involves drying a known mass of butter at 102 °C ± 2 °C in the presence of pumice stone to remove moisture. The loss of mass after drying corresponds to the water content.
Apparatus Requirements:
- Analytical balance with 0.1 mg readability
- Thermostatically controlled ventilated drying oven
- Desiccator with a drying agent such as silica gel
- Porcelain or corrosion-resistant metal dishes
- Granular pumice stone (0.8 mm to 8 mm diameter)
Sampling and Preparation: Samples should be representative and stored properly at temperatures between 2 °C and 14 °C in airtight containers to avoid moisture loss. Prior to analysis, butter samples are warmed (typically to 24–35 °C), homogenized without rupturing the emulsion, and stirred carefully to ensure uniformity.
Test Procedure:
- Heat pumice stone in the drying dish for at least 1 hour at 102 °C.
- Weigh approximately 5 g butter sample with the pumice stone in the dish.
- Dry the sample for 2 hours at 102 °C, then cool and weigh.
- Repeat drying for additional 30-minute intervals until mass change is minimal (≤ 1 mg).
- Calculate moisture content based on mass differences.
Precision:
- Repeatability limit: absolute difference ≤ 0.10% moisture content under identical conditions.
- Reproducibility limit: absolute difference ≤ 0.15% when tested across different labs and operators.
Reporting: The test report must include sample identification, method reference, details of sample preparation, and final moisture content result expressed to two decimal places.
Applications
This standard is essential for the dairy industry, laboratories, and regulatory bodies involved in:
- Quality control of butter to ensure consistent moisture levels for texture, shelf life, and taste.
- Regulatory compliance with food labeling requirements and trade standards.
- Research and development focusing on butter composition and processing improvements.
- Interlaboratory studies and proficiency testing to maintain analytical accuracy and consistency.
By following SIST EN ISO 3727-1:2002, manufacturers and laboratories can reliably determine butter moisture content, facilitating product standardization throughout the supply chain.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of member bodies casting a vote.
