NMKL 23 Moisture and ash replaced by NMKL 173

NMKL 23 MOISTURE AND ASH. GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION IN MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS was previously considered superfluous and should not have been available from NMKL. The method has been available for download, for an unknown period and and until May 2022. This was discovered due to questions from customers and during reassessment of methods. NMKL refers to NMKL 173 Ash, gravimetric determination in foods for determination of ash content.

NMKL has evaluated the consequences and concluded that the results from using NMKL 23 should be considered valid. However, we apologize for not having withdrawn the method as suggested by NMKL in 2005: “As NMKL had several gravimetric methods for determination of ash in foods, NMKL determined to harmonise these. The following methods are replaced by NMKL method No. 173, 2. Ed., 2005: • NMKL Method No. 7, 2. Ed., 1987: Ash. Determination in grain and flour. • NMKL Method No. 23, 3. Ed., 1991: Moisture and ash. Gravimetric determination in meat and meat products. • NMKL Method No. 108, 1984: Ash. Determination in milk and milk products. • NMKL Method No. 128, 1989: Ash. Gravimetric determination in foods. • NMKL Method No. 173, 2002: Ash. Gravimetric determination in foods.”

We apologize for the inconvenience, and please contact us if you have further questions.
