What is BS 6606-Methods for sampling oilseed residues about?
BS 6606 is a British standard on oilseed residues that discusses the methods for sampling oilseed residues to ensure oilseed and oilseed products are safe for consumption.
BS 6606 is applicable to all oilseed residues, regardless of their presentation, i.e., whether in the form of meals, agglomerates, or slab cakes.
BS 6606 gives a method, reflecting the present state of knowledge, of sampling oilseed residues containing undesirable substances which are likely to be non-uniformly distributed, such as mycotoxins, castor-oil seed husks and poisonous seeds.
Who is BS 6606-Methods for sampling oilseed residues for?
BS 6606 on the methods for sampling oilseed residues is useful for:
- Oilseed and oilseed product manufacturers
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments

Why should you use BS 6606-Methods for sampling oilseed residues?
Correct sampling is a complicated process and one that requires the most careful attention. All oilseed residues are sold based on the result of the analysis of the samples, and disputes are invariably settled by reference to the sample, so careless or inaccurate sampling could lead to misunderstanding, delay, and unwarranted financial adjustments.
BS 6606 provides you with guidance on apparatus, time and place of sampling and limitation of the size of the lot, method of taking samples, oilseed residues in the form of meals or agglomerates, preparation of laboratory samples, sizes of samples, packing and labelling of samples, sampling report, etc.
The methods and guidance provided by BS 6606 assist you in sampling oilseed residues, improving the quality and subsistence of oilseed and oilseed products and ensuring oilseed and oilseed products are free from contaminations.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6606, you can enhance oilseed and oilseed products’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
