Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of insoluble impurities content
ISO 663:2007 specifies a method for the determination of the insoluble impurities content of animal and vegetable fats and oils.
If it is not desired to include soaps (particularly calcium soaps) or oxidized fatty acids in the insoluble impurities content, it is necessary to use a different solvent and procedure.
Direct reduced iron and hot briquetted iron — Sampling and sample preparation
ISO 10835:2007 gives
the underlying theory,the basic principles for sampling and preparation of samples, andthe basic requirements for the design, installation and operation of sampling systems,
for mechanical sampling, manual sampling and preparation of samples taken from a lot under transfer, to determine the chemical composition, moisture content and physical properties of the lot.

Rubber compounding ingredients — Carbon black — Determination of sulfur content
ISO 1138:2007 specifies three methods for the determination of the total sulfur in all types of carbon black for use in the rubber industry:
Method A, using an oxygen bomb calorimeter;
Method B, using a combustion furnace;
Method C, using an automatic analyser.
With respect to safety aspects and test precision, it is preferable to use automatic systems. Classical chemical analysis (Method A…
