Maize - Determination of moisture content (on milled grains and on whole grains) (ISO 6540:2021)

This document specifies two methods:
- a reference method for the determination of the moisture content of maize grains and ground whole maize, groats, grits and maize flour, see Clause 4;
- a routine method for the evaluation of the moisture content of maize in whole grains, see Clause 5.
The latter is not suitable for use for experts' reports, or for calibration or checking of humidity meters, because of its significant bias to the reference method (see Table B.3).

Mais - Bestimmung des Feuchtegehalts (von gemahlenen und ganzen Körnern) (ISO 6540:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt zwei Verfahren fest:
- ein Referenzverfahren zur Bestimmung des Feuchtegehalts von ganzen Maiskörnern und gemahlenem Vollmais, Grobgrieß, Feingrieß und Maismehl, siehe Abschnitt 4;
- ein Routineverfahren zur Bewertung des Feuchtegehalts von ganzen Maiskörnern, siehe Abschnitt 5.
Das letztgenannte Verfahren ist wegen seiner signifikanten systematischen Abweichungskomponente gegenüber dem Referenzverfahren (siehe Tabelle B.3) nicht zur Anwendung für Fachberichte oder für die Kalibrierung oder Überprüfung von Feuchtemessgeräten geeignet.

Maïs - Détermination de la teneur en eau (sur grains broyés et sur grains entiers) (ISO 6540:2021)

Le présent document spécifie deux méthodes:
- une méthode de référence pour la détermination de la teneur en eau des grains de maïs et de la mouture de maïs entier, des gruaux et de la farine de maïs; voir l'Article 4;
- une méthode pratique pour l'évaluation de la teneur en eau des grains de maïs, en opérant sur les grains entiers; voir l'Article 5.
Cette dernière ne convient ni pour des expertises ni pour l'étalonnage ou le contrôle des humidimètres en raison de son biais important par rapport à la méthode de référence (voir le Tableau B.3).
