Overview

ISO 7088:1981 - Fish-meal – Vocabulary is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This document standardizes terminology related to fish-meal, providing authoritative definitions in both English and French. ISO 7088 enables consistent communication and understanding across industries involved with fish-meal production, trade, and research. The vocabulary covers key terms concerning the nature, processing, and characteristics of fish-meal, a crucial ingredient in animal feed and other industrial applications.

Key Topics

ISO 7088:1981 addresses essential terminology relevant to the fish-meal sector, including:

• Fish-meal: The product obtained by drying and grinding whole fish or parts of different species, with fat removal if necessary.
• Scrap: Fish or fish parts that have been dried (with fat possibly removed), but not ground.
• Low fat content fish-meal: Fish-meal derived from species low in fat, or from which fat is removed by solvent extraction.
• Processing liquids:
  • Press liquor: Liquid separated from cooked fish.
  • Stick water: Liquid from press liquor after solids and most fat removed.
  • Fish solubles: Concentrated stick water, often used as an ingredient in animal feeds.
• Product forms and qualities:
  • Press-cake fish-meal: Fish-meal without added fish solubles.
  • Pelletized fish-meal: Fish-meal processed into pellets.
  • Stabilized fish-meal: Fish-meal in which oxidative reactions have been controlled.
• Physical and chemical stability:
  • Spontaneous heating: Temperature increase due to exothermic reactions.
  • Autocombustion: Combustion resulting from excessive self-heating.
  • Curing/Stabilization: Processes for controlling oxidation and preventing self-heating.
  • Antioxidant: Chemical substance used to inhibit oxidation.

These standardized definitions support clear communication throughout the supply chain, from production and quality control to regulatory oversight and international trade.

Applications

The terminology standardized in ISO 7088:1981 has practical value across several domains:

• Fish-meal production: Manufacturers use standard terms for internal communication, technical documentation, and quality management.
• Feed and agriculture industries: Clear definitions ensure feed ingredients are labeled and used correctly according to international standards, supporting animal nutrition and safety.
• International trade and regulation: Harmonized terminology reduces misunderstandings in contracts, labeling, and customs documentation, facilitating global commerce.
• Research and development: Academics and technical experts rely on standard vocabulary for clarity in scientific studies and innovation in fish-meal technology.
• Quality control and safety: Accurate descriptions of fish-meal types and processing methods aid in compliance with food safety standards and risk management.

By adopting ISO 7088, organizations foster transparency, efficiency, and compliance within the complex fish-meal supply chain.

Related Standards

Several other international standards and guidelines complement ISO 7088:1981:

• ISO standards for animal feed: Covering testing methods, safety requirements, and quality management.
• Codex Alimentarius guidelines: Providing internationally recognized food safety and labeling standards, often referencing fish-meal.
• ISO/TC 34 standards: Pertaining to food products, including seafood and fishery products.
• National standards: Many countries have local regulations referencing or harmonizing with ISO 7088 for fish-meal labeling and composition.

Implementing ISO 7088:1981 ensures consistency with global best practices in fish-meal terminology, supporting integrated operations and regulatory compliance across the industry.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing Inter-
national Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the
right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 7088 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 169,
Fsh-meal, and was circulated to the member bodies in August 1980.
lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
