This European Standard defines a routine method for the determination of moisture and protein in whole kernels of barley and wheat using a near-infrared spectrophotometer in the constituent ranges:
for wheat:
-   moisture content minimum from 8 % to 22 %;
-   protein content minimum from 7 % to 20 %.
for barley:
-   moisture content minimum from 8 % to 22 %;
-   protein content minimum from 7 % to 16 %.
This European Standard describes the modalities to be implemented by the supplier (5.3 and 5.4) and the user of the method.

CEN/TC 338/WG 9 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "NIR-ANN methods for cereals" and is responsible for: This Working Group will develop a European Standard on the determination of moisture and protein in barley and wheat using Near-InfraRed (NIR)transmission in combination with an artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model and associated database. This committee has published 1 standards.

CEN/TC 338/WG 9 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: This Working Group will develop a European Standard on the determination of moisture and protein in barley and wheat using Near-InfraRed (NIR)transmission in combination with an artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model and associated database. Currently, there are 1 published standards from this working group.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
