This standard specifies methods for the determination of acidity of animal and vegetable fats and oils (two titrimetric and one potentiometric) for the determination of acidity in animal and vegetable fats and oils. The acidity is expressed preferably as acid value.
The hot ethanol determination method is the reference method. The cold solvent method described is applicable to light-color fats and oils.
The methods are not applicable to waxes.
