Overview

EN 17050:2017 - published by CEN - specifies a validated laboratory method for the determination of iodine in animal feeding stuffs using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‑MS) following alkaline extraction. The procedure was successfully tested across a measured range of 0.70 to 631 mg/kg in diverse feed matrices such as seaweed meal, mineral premixtures, fish meal, plant‑based ingredients, marine compound feeds and a synthetic iodine solution.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Sample extraction: Iodine is extracted from a representative test portion using a strong alkaline solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and incubated (example conditions in the standard: 90 °C for 3 hours).
  • Analytical technique: Quantification is performed by ICP‑MS, using an internal standard (e.g., tellurium) and matched matrix/calibration solutions to control signal stability and matrix effects.
  • Calibration and blanks: The standard describes preparation of calibration solutions (example levels: 5, 20 and 50 µg/L) and a zero member compensation solution that matches TMAH and internal standard content of samples.
  • Reagents and apparatus: Use of trace‑quality reagents and low‑iodine water (EN ISO 3696), gas‑tight glass or high‑temperature plastics, syringe membrane filters, and ICP‑MS instrumentation.
  • Quality criteria: The document sets requirements for limit of quantification (LOQ), precision (repeatability and reproducibility) and reporting. Results of an inter‑laboratory test are included to support method performance.
  • Safety and traceability: Warnings about hazardous reagents and guidance to minimize blanks and contamination are provided.

Practical applications

  • Regulatory compliance: Verify iodine content against feed labeling or statutory limits.
  • Quality control: Routine testing of premixes, mineral feeds, marine ingredients and compound feeds to ensure correct fortification.
  • Risk monitoring: Detect excessive iodine levels in seaweed‑rich or marine feeds that may impact animal health or food‑chain transfer.
  • Method transfer: Standardized ICP‑MS procedure for laboratories implementing iodine testing workflows.

Who should use this standard

  • Feed testing laboratories and QC teams in feed manufacturing
  • Regulatory bodies and official control laboratories
  • Raw material suppliers (seaweed, fish meal, mineral premixes)
  • Animal nutritionists and researchers conducting feed composition analyses

Related standards

  • EN 15111 - Determination of iodine by ICP‑MS (foodstuffs)
  • EN ISO 3696 - Water for analytical laboratory use
  • EN ISO 6497 / 6498 - Sampling and sample preparation for animal feeding stuffs

Using EN 17050:2017 helps ensure reliable, comparable iodine measurements across laboratories and feed types, supporting feed safety, labeling accuracy and nutritional management.
