Developing ISO International Standards for the Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils Sector

Increasing volumes of oils and fats are produced annually with a large section that are traded internationally. The International Organization for Standardization(ISO) body develops international standards covering almost all aspects of technology and manufacturing with 23,882 standards currently published. Standards in the animal and vegetable fats and oils sector is developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 11, Animal and vegetable fats and oils. Standards are developed through consensus by national members that represent ISO in their country. Each Standard is developed within a determined timeframe and goes through various pre-determined stages such as project proposal, development, national voting and commenting on the draft Standard to final publication. ISO TC34/SC11 Standards range from sampling of oils and fats, sample preparation to analysis of its composition, the minor components, and quality and identity parameters as well as contaminants. The analysis results are used by industry for product development, labelling, research and to provide peace of mind for consumers on its safety. An important future trend is the focus on the safety concerns from either environmental contamination(e.g. mineral oils) or processing contaminants such as esters of 3-MCPDs(3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol).

CHARTING A NEW ROUTE TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF NATIONAL STANDARDS: BRINGING THE CLASS TO LIFE

Introduction In this article we discuss making use of applied linguistic theory, as the means of achieving national standards at tertiary level. We contest that methods now widely in use at colleges and universities are insufficient to reach modern nationwide targets. We suggest modifications in teaching approach and present ideas for supplementing and enlivening existing materials or replacing them. Much of the article is drawn from our converging experiences both as a Chinese university teacher of English from one aspect and as an English EFL specialist from another. We speak jointly from the ’chalkface’ and wish to share our views and be provoked into seeking solutions to the new challenges for Chinese EFL inherent in targets set by the national standards.
