This standard BS EN 15948:2020 Cereals. Determination of moisture and protein. Method using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in whole kernels is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.060 Cereals, pulses and derived products

This document defines a routine method for the determination of moisture and protein contents in whole kernels of wheat and barley using near infrared spectroscopy in the constituent ranges:

1. for wheat:

   1. moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;

   2. protein content minimum range from 7 %DM to 20 %DM.

2. for barley:

   1. moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;

   2. protein content minimum range from 7 %DM to 16 %DM.

This document describes the modalities to be implemented by the supplier (5.3 and 5.4) and the user of the method.
