What is BS EN 15948 about?
BS EN 15948 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: for wheat: moisture content minimum ranges from 8 % to 22 %, protein content minimum ranges from 7 %DM to 20 %DM. For barley: moisture content minimum ranges from 8 % to 22 %, protein content minimum ranges from 7 %DM to 16 %DM.
BS EN 15948 describes the modalities to be implemented by the supplier (5.3 and 5.4) and the user of the method.
