| 25150,"2003/534/EC: Commission Decision of 17 July 2003 amending Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Decision 2000/96/EC as regards communicable diseases listed in those decisions and amending Decision 2002/253/EC as regards the case definitions for communicable diseases (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2003) 2301). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 1998 setting up a network for the epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases in the Community(1), and in particular points (a) and (c) of Article 3 and Article 8 thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision No 2119/98/EC provides for the establishment of a network at Community level to promote cooperation and coordination regarding the prevention and control of certain categories of communicable diseases referred to in that Decision. Diseases caused by agents specifically engineered for the purpose of maximising morbidity and/or mortality upon deliberate release should be covered by that Decision.(2) Commission Decision 2000/96/EC of 22 December 1999 on the communicable diseases to be progressively covered by the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), lists certain communicable diseases to be covered by epidemiological surveillance in the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC.(3) Commission Decision 2002/253/EC of 19 March 2002 laying down case definitions for reporting communicable diseases to the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), provides for case definitions for communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.(4) It is appropriate that the communicable diseases for which case definitions are provided in Decision 2002/253/EC are congruent with the communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.(5) Smallpox could pose a serious public health threat in the event of deliberate release. This communicable disease should therefore be listed in Annex 1 to Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for smallpox should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.(6) Although tetanus is not transmissible among humans and only occurs sporadically in the Community, evaluation of vaccine programmes based on surveillance would contribute to the improvement of vaccine policies. Tetanus should therefore be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for tetanus is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.(7) A deliberate release of anthrax in the Community would pose a serious risk to public health. Therefore that disease should be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for anthrax is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.(8) Transmission of botulism is not restricted to foodborne intoxication and any reference to that mode of contracting the disease should, therefore, be deleted.(9) It is appropriate that the case definition for diphtheria in Decision 2002/253/EC be reviewed to take into account the latest scientific evidence.(10) Decision 2000/96/EC defines criteria for the selection of communicable diseases of special areas to be covered by epidemiological surveillance within the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC. Q-fever and tularaemia would fulfil those criteria in the event of deliberate release. Those diseases also occur naturally within the European Community. Surveillance based on case definitions would offer added benefit. Those communicable diseases should therefore be listed in Decision 2000/96/EC. In addition, case definitions for Q-fever and tularaemia should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.(11) Decisions No 2119/98/EC, 2000/96/EC and 2002/253/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision No 2119/98/EC,. The Annex to Decision No 2119/98/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision. Annex I to Decision 2000/96/EC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision. The Annex to Decision 2002/253/EC is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

REQUEST(1) The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China and to make imports of bicycles consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, subject to registration.(2) The request was lodged on 23 July 2014 by the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA) on behalf of fifteen Union producers of bicycles.B. PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, falling within CN codes 8712 00 30 and ex 8712 00 70 and originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the product concerned’).(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).C. EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EU) No 502/2013 (2).D. GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via, and assembly operations in, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines.(7) The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows.(8) The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines to the Union has taken place following the imposition of the measures and their extension, by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 501/2013 (3), to imports consigned from Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Tunisia, whether declared as originating in these countries or not, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.(9) This change appears to stem from the transhipment of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China via Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines to the Union and from assembly operations in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines.(10) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.(11) Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.(12) Should circumvention practices via Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment and assembly operations, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.E. PROCEDURE(13) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a) Questionnaires(14) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.(15) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than within the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(16) The authorities of the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines will be notified accordingly of the initiation of the investigation.(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings(17) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures(18) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.(19) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines of bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, that can show that they are not related (4) to any producer subject to the measures (5) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F. REGISTRATION(20) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines was imposed.G. TIME LIMITS(21) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,— producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(22) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.H. NON-COOPERATION(23) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(24) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(25) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.I. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(26) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.J. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(27) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).K. HEARING OFFICER(28) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.(29) A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.(30) For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/degucht/contact/hearing-officer/,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, currently falling within CN codes ex 8712 00 30 and ex 8712 00 70 (TARIC codes 8712003020, and 8712007092) consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EU) No 502/2013. The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5)of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted. (1) Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.(2) Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.(3) Producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time limit.(4) Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time limit.(5) Interested parties are invited to make all submissions and requests by e-mail including scanned powers of attorney and certification sheets, with the exception of voluminous replies which shall be submitted on a CD-ROM or DVD by hand or by registered mail.

That list includes flocoumafen.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, flocoumafen has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) The Netherlands was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 4 October 2007 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 15 May 2009, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing flocoumafen may be expected not to present a risk to humans except for accidental incidents with children. A risk has been identified regarding non-target animals. However, flocoumafen is for the time being considered essential for reasons of public health and hygiene. It is therefore justified to include flocoumafen in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing flocoumafen can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that specific risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing flocoumafen and used as rodenticides. Such measures should be aimed at limiting the risk of primary and secondary exposure of humans and non-target animals as well as the long-term effects of the substance on the environment. To this end, certain constraints such as the maximum concentration, the prohibition on marketing the active substance in products which are not ready to use and the use of aversive agents should be imposed across the board, while other conditions should be imposed by the Member States on a case-by-case basis.(7) In view of the identified risks and its characteristics, which render it potentially persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic, or very persistent and very liable to bioaccumulate, flocoumafen should be included in Annex I for five years only and should be made subject to a comparative risk assessment in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 10(5)(i) of Directive 98/8/EC before its inclusion in Annex I is renewed.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance flocoumafen and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 14 containing flocoumafen to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 September 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 October 2011.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication.

| 4419,"Council Directive 86/378/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in occupational social security schemes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 100 and 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas the Treaty provides that each Member State shall ensure the application of the principle that men and women should receive equal pay for equal work; whereas 'pay' should be taken to mean the ordinary basic or minimum wage or salary and any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, which the worker receives, directly of indirectly, from his employer in respect of his employment;Whereas, although the principle of equal pay does indeed apply directly in cases where discrimination can be determined solely on the basis of the criteria of equal treatment and equal pay, there are also situations in which implementation of this principle implies the adoption of additional measures which more clearly define its scope;Whereas Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions (4) provides that, with a view to ensuring the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment in matters of social security, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will adopt provisions defining its substance, its scope and the arrangements for its application; whereas the Council adopted to this end Directive 79/7/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security (5);Whereas Article 3 (3) of Directive 79/7/EEC provides that, with a view to ensuring implementation of the principle of equal treatment in occupational schemes, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will adopt provisions defining its substance, its scope and the arrangements for its application;Whereas the principle of equal treatment should be implemented in occupational social security schemes which provide protection against the risks specified in Article 3 (1) of Directive 79/7/EEC as well as those which provide employees with any other consideration in cash or in kind within the meaning of the Treaty;Whereas implementation of the principle of equal treatment does not prejudice the provisions relating to the protection of women by reason of maternity,. The object of this Directive is to implement, in occupational social security schemes, the principle of equal treatment for men and women, hereinafter referred to as 'the principle of equal treatment'. 1. 'Occupational social security schemes' means schemes not governed by Directive 79/7/EEC whose purpose is to provide workers, whether employees or self-employed, in an undertaking or group of undertakings, area of economic activity or occupational sector or group of such sectors with benefits intended to supplement the benefits provided by statutory social security schemes or to replace them, whether membership of such schemes is compulsory or optional.2. This Directive does not apply to:(a) individual contracts,(b) schemes having only one member,(c) in the case of salaried workers, insurance schemes offered to participants individually to guarantee them:- either additional benefits, or- a choice of date on which the normal benefits will start, or a choice between several benefits. This Directive shall apply to members of the working population including self-employed persons, persons whose activity is interrupted by illness, matrnity, accident or involuntary unemployment and persons seeking employment, and to retired and disabled workers. This Directive shall apply to:(a) occupational schemes which provide protection against the following risks:- sickness,- invalidity,- old age, including early retirement,- industrial accidents and occupational diseases,- unemployment;(b) occupational schemes which provide for other social benefits, in cash or in kind, and in particular survivors' benefits and family allowances, if such benefits are accorded to employed persons and thus constitute a consideration paid by the employer to the worker by reason of the latter's employment. 1. Unter the conditions laid down in the following provisions, the principle of equal treatment implies that there shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex, either directly or indirectly, by reference in particular to marital or family status, especially as regards:- the scope of the schemes and the conditions of access to them;- the obligation to contribute and the calculation of contributions;- the calculation of benefits, including supplementary benefits due in respect of a spouse or dependants, and the conditions governing the duration and retention of entitlement to benefits.2. The principle of equal treatment shall not prejudice the provisions relating to the protection of women by reason of maternity. 1. Provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment shall include those based on sex, either directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to marital or family for:(a) determining the persons who may participate in an occupational scheme;(b) fixing the compulsory or optional nature of participation in an occupational scheme;(c) laying down different rules as regards the age of entry into the scheme or the minimum period of employment or membership of the scheme required to obtain the benefits thereof;(d) laying down different rules, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), for the reimbursement of contributions where a worker leaves a scheme without having fulfilled the conditions guaranteeing him a deferred right to long-term benefits;(e) setting different conditions for the granting of benefits of restricting such benefits to workers of one or other of the sexes;(f) fixing different retirement ages;(g) suspending the retention or acquisition of rights during periods of maternity leave or leave for family reasons which are granted by law or agreement and are paid by the employer;(h) setting different levels of benefit, except insofar as may be necessary to take account of actuarial calculation factors which differ according to sex in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined; (i) setting different levels of worker contribution;setting different levels of employer contribution in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined, except with a view to making the amount of those benefits more nearly equal;(j) laying down different standards or standards applicable only to workers of a specified sex, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), as regards the guarantee or retention of entitlement to deferred benefits when a worker leaves a scheme.2. Where the granting of benefits within the scope of this Directive is left to the discretion of the scheme's management bodies, the latter must take account of the principle of equal treatment. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:(a) provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment in legally compulsory collective agreements, staff rules of undertakings or any other arrangements relating to occupational schemes are null and void, or may be declared null and void or amended;(b) schemes containing such provisions may not be approved or extended by administrative measures. 1. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the provisions of occupational schemes contrary to the principle of equal treatment are revised by 1 January 1993.2. This Directive shall not preclude rights and obligations relating to a period of membership of an occupational scheme prior to revision of that scheme from remaining subject to the provisions of the scheme in force during that period. Member States may defer compulsory application of the principle of equal treatment with regard to:(a) determination of pensionable age for the purposes of granting old-age or retirement pensions, and the possible implications for other benefits:- either until the date on which such equality is achieved in statutory schemes,- or, at the latest, until such equality is required by a directive.(b) survivors' pensions until a directive requires the principle of equal treatment in statutory social security schemes in that regard;(c) the application of the first subparagraph of Article 6 (1) (i) to take account of the different actuarial calculation factors, at the latest until the expiry of a thirteen-year period as from the notification of this Directive. 0Member States shall introduce into their national legal systems such measures as are necessary to enable all persons who consider themselves injured by failure to apply the principle of equal treatment to pursue their claims before the courts, possibly after bringing the matters before other competent authorities. 1Member States shall take all the necessary steps to protect worker against dismissal where this constitutes a response on the part of the employer to a complaint made at undertaking level or to the institution of legal proceedings aimed at enforcing compliance with the principle of equal treatment. 21. Member States shall bring into force such laws, regulations and administrative provisions as are necessary in order to comply with this Directive at the latest three years after notification thereof (1). They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission at the latest five years after notification of this Directive all information necessary to enable the Commission to draw up a report on the application of this Directive for submission to the Council. 3This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

Field of applicationApplication of this method is related to the quantity of sugar present in the product analised. The presence of amino acids, salts of organic acids, inorganic salts, fat, flavonoids and alcohol alters the refractive index.II. DefinitionDry soluble residue content (determined by refractometry) means the percentage weight of sucrose in an aqueous solution of sucrose which, under given conditions, has the same refractive index as the product analysed. The product's dry soluble residue content is expressed in grams per 100 grams (g/100 g).III. PrincipleDeduction of the dry soluble residue content of a product from its refractive index.IV. ApparatusAbbe-type refractometerThis apparatus must enable the percentage weight of sucrose to be determined to the nearest ± 0,1 %.The refractometer must have a thermometer with a scale extending at least from + 15 °C to + 25 °C. It must also have a water circulator enabling the temperature to be adjusted with an accuracy of ± 0,5 °C.Operating instructions for this apparatus, and in particular those dealing with calibration and light source, must be strictly followed.V. Method1. Preparation of sample1.1. Liquid productsMix carefully and proceed to determination.1.2. Semi-dense products, purées, fruit juices with matter in suspensionCarefully mix an average laboratory sample and then homogenize. Strain part of the sample through dry gauze folded in four, remove the first drops and proceed to determination on the filtrate.1.3. Dense products (jams and jellies)If the previously homogenized product cannot be used directly, weigh 40 g of the product to the nearest 0,01 g in a 250 ml beaker and add 100 ml of distilled water.Boil gently for two or three minutes, stirring with a glass rod.Cool, pour the contents of the beaker into an appropriate tared vessel using distilled water as a flushing liquid, add distilled water so as to obtain about 200 g of product, weigh it to the nearest 0,01 g, and mix the solution throuroughly.Allow to stand for 20 minutes, then strain through a folded filter or a Buechner funnel.Make determination on the filtrate.1.4. Frozen productsDefrost and remove stones or pips and cores. Mix the product with the liquid formed during defrosting and proceed as in 1.2 or 1.3.1.5. Dry products or products containing whole fruit or pieces of fruitCut the laboratory sample - or part of it - into small pieces, remove stones or pips and cores and mix carefully.Weigh 10 to 20 g of the product to the nearest 0,01 g in a beaker.Add distilled water corresponding to five times the weight of the product. Heat in a water bath for 30 minutes stirring occasionally with a glass rod. When cool, continue as described in 1.3.1.6. Products containing alcoholWeigh about 100 g of sample to the nearest 0,01 g into a tared beaker. Place the beaker in a bath of boiled water for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a glass rod, and add distilled water if necessary.Where the alcohol content exceeds about 5 % mass add more distilled water and heat again in the water bath for 45 minutes.After cooling weigh the final contents of the vessel, filer if necessary, and continue with the determination.2. DeterminationBring the sample to the measurement temperature by immersing the container in a water bath at the required temperature.Place a small sample on the lower prism of the refractometer, taking care to ensure that the sample covers the glass surface uniformly when the prisms are pressed against each other. Measure in accordance with the operating instructions for the apparatur used.Read the percentage weight of sucrose to the nearest 0,1 %.Make at least two determinations on the same prepared sample.VI. Expression of resultsCalculation and formulationThe dry soluble residue content, conventionally expressed in grams of sucrose per 100 grams of product, is calculated as follows. The percentage sucrose content indicated by refractometry is used directly. If the reading is made at a temperature other than + 20 °C, correct as indicated in the attached table.If measurement has been made on a dilute solution, the dry soluble residue content (M) is calculated using the following formula:M = M × 100 E M being the weight (in grams) of dry soluble residue per 100 g of product indicated by the refractometer and E the weight (in grams) of product per 100 g of solution.Corrections when determination is made at a temperature other than 20 °C""""Subtract"" ID=""01"">15> ID=""02"">0,25> ID=""03"">0,27> ID=""04"">0,31> ID=""05"">0,31> ID=""06"">0,34> ID=""07"">0,35> ID=""08"">0,36> ID=""09"">0,37> ID=""10"">0,36> ID=""11"">0,36""> ID=""01"">16> ID=""02"">0,21> ID=""03"">0,23> ID=""04"">0,27> ID=""05"">0,27> ID=""06"">0,29> ID=""07"">0,31> ID=""08"">0,31> ID=""09"">0,32> ID=""10"">0,31> ID=""11"">0,23""> ID=""01"">17> ID=""02"">0,16> ID=""03"">0,18> ID=""04"">0,20> ID=""05"">0,20> ID=""06"">0,22> ID=""07"">0,23> ID=""08"">0,23> ID=""09"">0,23> ID=""10"">0,20> ID=""11"">0,17""> ID=""01"">18> ID=""02"">0,11> ID=""03"">0,12> ID=""04"">0,14> ID=""05"">0,15> ID=""06"">0,16> ID=""07"">0,16> ID=""08"">0,15> ID=""09"">0,12> ID=""10"">0,12> ID=""11"">0,09""> ID=""01"">19> ID=""02"">0,06> ID=""03"">0,07> ID=""04"">0,08> ID=""05"">0,08> ID=""06"">0,08> ID=""07"">0,09> ID=""08"">0,09> ID=""09"">0,08> ID=""10"">0,07> ID=""11"">0,05"">Add"" ID=""01"">21> ID=""02"">0,06> ID=""03"">0,07> ID=""04"">0,07> ID=""05"">0,07> ID=""06"">0,07> ID=""07"">0,07> ID=""08"">0,07> ID=""09"">0,07> ID=""10"">0,07> ID=""11"">0,07""> ID=""01"">22> ID=""02"">0,12> ID=""03"">0,14> ID=""04"">0,14> ID=""05"">0,14> ID=""06"">0,14> ID=""07"">0,14> ID=""08"">0,14> ID=""09"">0,14> ID=""10"">0,14> ID=""11"">0,14""> ID=""01"">23> ID=""02"">0,18> ID=""03"">0,20> ID=""04"">0,20> ID=""05"">0,21> ID=""06"">0,21> ID=""07"">0,21> ID=""08"">0,21> ID=""09"">0,22> ID=""10"">0,22> ID=""11"">0,22""> ID=""01"">24> ID=""02"">0,24> ID=""03"">0,26> ID=""04"">0,26> ID=""05"">0,27> ID=""06"">0,28> ID=""07"">0,28> ID=""08"">0,28> ID=""09"">0,28> ID=""10"">0,29> ID=""11"">0,29""> ID=""01"">25> ID=""02"">0,30> ID=""03"">0,32> ID=""04"">0,32> ID=""05"">0,34> ID=""06"">0,36> ID=""07"">0,36> ID=""08"">0,36> ID=""09"">0,36> ID=""10"">0,36> ID=""11"">0,37 "">The temperature may not vary by more than ± 5 °C from 20 °C. | |
