Specification
As notified in the Order, line by line. Values are per cent by weight unless the line says otherwise.
How to read this table
- Minimum means the product must contain at least this much; maximum means not more than this (moisture, impurities and heavy metals have a maximum).
- Per cent by weight means grams in every 100 g of product: 0.5 per cent zinc is 5 g of zinc in every kg.
- Tolerance: a lab result may fall slightly short of the notified value before the sample is called non-standard; the limits are in Schedule I, Part B.
- S.O. … (E) is the number of the Gazette notification that made a change; “in force” (w.e.f., with effect from) is the date it started to apply.
