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. 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 the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

It is applicable to samples of at least 1 kg of durum wheat semolina obtained solely by comminution, without subsequent combination, having a moisture content higher than 10 % and packaged in fully filled airtight packaging. It is not applicable to determinations carried out using sieves of aperture size below 160 ?m. NOTEDetermination of the undersize fraction is sometimes termed “granulation of semolinas“. 2Normative reference The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 712, Cereals and cereal products Determination of moisture content Routine reference method. 3Term and definition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 undersize fraction of semolina by convention, the percentage of semolina which passes through the sieve specified for the semolina in question, under the operating conditions described in this International Standard 4Principle The semolina under test is sieved using a chosen sieve of specified aperture size, in accordance with the procedure described in this International Standard. 5Apparatus Usual laboratory equipment and, in particular, the following.

Mix it carefully in order to make it as homogeneous as possible. The homogenization may be carried out by a mixing device if its container is made of non-electrostatic material. 8Determination of moisture content of the sample Determine separately the moisture content of the prepared test sample (clause 7) in accordance with ISO 712. The moisture content shall be between 10 % and 15,50 %. If this is not the case, the procedure described in clause 9 is not applicable (in accordance with clause 1). 9Procedure 9.1General The operations described in 9.2 to 9.3.8 inclusive shall be carried out in less than 15 min. 9.2Test portion From the test sample prepared according to clause 7, immediately take, using a spatula (5.4), a test portion of 50 g ? 0,5 g, weighed to the nearest 0,01 g (m0). 9.3Determination 9.3.1Place the sieve, appropriate for the type of semolina to be tested, on the receiver (5.2) and put eight rubber balls (5.3) in the sieve. 9.3.2Pour the test portion (9.2) into the sieve and put on the cover. Place the assembly on the sieving machine (5.1) which is set at an amplitude of 60 mm. Block using the tightening system and disengage the sieve cleaning system if the appliance is equipped with one. 9.3.3Start the chronometer (5.9) and the sieving machine (5.1) simultaneously. Sieve the test portion for 5 min ? 5 s. 9.3.4As soon as the sieving machine stops, release the tightening system and remove the assembly. 9.3.5Remove the cover. Brush off (5.5) the particles of semolina adhering to the underside of the sieve into the receiver to avoid loss. 9.3.6Discard the semolina remaining on the sieve. 9.3.7Transfer quantitatively the contents of the receiver (the undersize fraction) into a dish (5.7), then weigh to the nearest 0,01 g (m). 9.3.8Conduct a new determination by sampling another test portion (9.2) and proceeding as described in 9.3.1 to 9.3.7.

Calculate the arithmetic mean of the two determinations and express the results to the nearest 0,01 %. 10 Expression of results 10.1Examine the repeatability of the measurements by taking the following criteria into consideration. a)If the mean value is higher than 15 % Accept the result only if both values do not differ by more than?1,0 % (i.e.?0,50 g). b)If the mean value is lower than 15 % Accept the result only if both values do not differ by more than?0,5 % (i.e.?0,25 g). If the result does not meet the criteria given in a) and b), repeat all of the operations with two other test portions. 10.2If the repeatability conditions are fulfilled, examine whether the mean value obtained is higher or lower than 15 % (i.e. 7,5 g). a)If the mean value is higher than 15 % Accept this value as the final result of the test and express it to the nearest 0,1 %. b)If the mean value is lower than 15 % Repeat the operations with two other test portions following the same procedure as previously described (see 9.2 to 9.4), but modifying the operating conditions as follows: ?in 9.2: using a spatula (5.4), take a test portion of 100 g?0,50 g, weighed to the nearest 0,01 g; ?in 9.3.1: put four rubber balls (5.3) into the sieve; ?in 9.3.2: set the sieving machine (5.1) at an amplitude of 30 mm?2 mm. Proceed as before on two test portions. Calculate the arithmetical mean of the two results and express it to the nearest 0,01 %. Examine the repeatability of the measurements taking the following criteria into consideration. 1)If the mean value is higher than 15 %:accept the result only if both values do not differ by more than ?1,0 % (i.e.?1,0 g).

Otherwise, take the arithmetical mean as the final result and express it to the nearest 0,01 %. 11 Precision 11.1 Interlaboratory test Details of an interlaboratory test on the precision of the method are summarized in annex A. The values derived from this interlaboratory test may not be applicable to concentration ranges and matrices other than those given. 11.2 Repeatability The absolute difference between two independent single test results, obtained using the same method on identical test material in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within a short interval of time, will in not more than 5 % of cases be greater than the values specified, as appropriate, in 10.1 or 10.2 b). 11.3 Reproducibility The absolute difference between two single test results, obtained using the same method on identical test material in different laboratories with different operators using different equipment, will in not more than 5 % of cases be greater than 25 % of the arithmetic mean of the two results, with minimum and maximum tolerances of 2 g and 10 g respectively. NOTEThese values correspond to what can be currently obtained, account being taken of the “rules of the game“. Indeed, if a certain scattering of results is observed, it is not solely due to the method, but also results from the tolerances author
