Description of the measure

13. (1) In order to determine whether a wheat product complies with the requirement for such
product, the product shall --
(a) be analysed in duplicate;
(b) where necessary, be ground to such a fineness as to allow all the material to pass through a round hole sieve with aperture of 2 mm;
(c) be mixed thoroughly before any determination is made;
(d) be measured out in grams accurately to the fourth decimal place unless where otherwise specified; and
(e) in the case of baked products, be treated in such a manner that, except in the case of the determination of the dry solids mass, the crust is first separated from the product and the remaining portion (called "the crumb" in the baking trade) is then cut into thin slices and, when air-dry, ground to such a fineness as to allow the sample to pass through a 1,0 mm sieve.
