This European Standard defines the terms related to functions, products, and properties of algae
and algae products.

This document defines the terms related to functions, products, and properties of algae and algae products. In order to better pack the methodologies, algae are regarded as a functional group of organisms consisting of microalgae, macroalgae, cyanobacteria and Labyrinthulomycetes.

This document describes the sample preparation of dry and wet samples of micro- and macroalgae, algae-based products and intermediates. This document enables laboratories analysing algae samples to report accurate dry weight percentages and to obtain representative samples possible for further examination.

This document specifies the methods to be used for the determination of productivity of algae growth sites.
This document excludes methods for sampling, harvesting and pre-/postprocessing. Excluded as well is 'wild growth', which is defined as algae growing in nature without human interference except when harvesting the algae.

This document specifies a method for the detection and identification of microalgae, macroalgae (seaweed), cyanobacteria and Labyrinthulomycetes by using morphological methods and/or molecular methods.
The morphological methods in this document are applicable to harvested wet biomass and to harvested dried unground biomass from microalgae, macroalgae, cyanobacteria and Labyrinthulomycetes that have been grown and/or harvested for further processing and/or use.
The molecular methods in this document are applicable to harvested wet biomass and to harvested dried and/or ground biomass from microalgae, macroalgae, cyanobacteria and Labyrinthulomycetes that have been grown and/or harvested for further processing and/or use.
This document describes a toolbox, consisting of several identification methods that can be chosen according to the applicability and purpose of the identification:
—   morphological methods based on observation and referring to scientific literature on taxonomy:
—   macroscopic observation;
—   light microscopic observation;
—   molecular methods of sequencing and blasting of sequences:
—   16S-rDNA sequencing;
—   18S-rDNA sequencing;
—   rbcL DNA sequencing;
—   ITS sequencing;
—   COX 1 gene sequencing;
—   tufA gene sequencing.
This document does not deal with genetic purity of the biomass or quantification of the identified taxa.
