SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 is the Slovenian standard identical to EN ISO 6869:2000, published by SIST. It specifies an atomic absorption spectrometry method for determining calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc in animal feeding stuffs. In practice, it is used when a laboratory needs comparable mineral-content results for feed materials.
What does SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 specify?
SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 specifies a method for measuring eight elements in animal feeding stuffs by atomic absorption spectrometry. The named elements are calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc.
That matters because the standard gives one common analytical approach for feed samples that need mineral-content testing. Using the same method helps different laboratories produce results that can be compared more easily.
The document is the Slovenian publication of the English-language text identified as EN ISO 6869:2000. The front matter also presents the French and German titles, which helps users recognize the same standard across language versions.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN ISO 6869:2001?
SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 is a method standard centered on atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). For the reader, that means the standard is about how to determine the listed metals and minerals analytically, not about feed formulation or nutrition claims.
The core technical point is the use of AAS to measure the contents of the specified elements in animal feeding stuffs. In practice, users need to apply the document as an analytical procedure and report results for the elements covered by the standard.
The standard covers a defined set of elements rather than all possible minerals in feed. That focus is useful in laboratories because it tells staff exactly which analytes the method is intended for.
The standard is tied to animal feeding stuffs as the material under test. For users, that means the method is aimed at feed-related samples rather than general-purpose chemical analysis.
The publication identification shows that SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 is identical to EN ISO 6869:2000. For buyers and quality managers, that means the Slovenian standard corresponds directly to the European reference named on the page.
What terms does SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 define?
The document title gives the main technical terms used to describe the method and the analytes.
- Animal feeding stuffs - the feed materials for which the mineral contents are determined.
- Atomic absorption spectrometry - the analytical technique used to measure the listed elements.
- Calcium - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Copper - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Iron - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Magnesium - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Manganese - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Potassium - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Sodium - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
- Zinc - one of the elements whose content is determined by the method.
Who uses SIST EN ISO 6869:2001?
SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 is used by laboratories that test animal feeding stuffs for mineral content. It is also relevant to quality control teams and technical staff who need a consistent way to measure the listed elements.
Feed manufacturers and organizations that check feed quality can use the standard when they need results for calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium or zinc. The method is useful wherever comparable laboratory results matter for product control, specification checking, or documentation.
What does the SIST EN ISO 6869:2001 document contain?
The document contains the standard identification, multilingual titles, and publication details shown on the front matter. It identifies the standard as SIST EN ISO 6869:2001, shows the English title, and includes the corresponding German and French titles.
It also shows the classification 65.120, which places it in the animal feeding stuffs area. The page states that the Slovenian standard is identical to EN ISO 6869:2000 and gives the publication date as 01-may-2001.
For a user, that means the document page tells you exactly which mineral-analysis method the standard covers and how the Slovenian publication relates to the European standard reference.
