The Importance of Standardization in Fat Analysis: ITERG’s Key Role

ITERG plays a major role as an Industrial Technical Center, particularly in the field of standardization and analysis of fats and by-products. Its role as a Reference Laboratory is essential for professionals, particularly in cases of commercial disputes or international crises.

Validation of Analytical Methods

ITERG provides high-performance analytical methods that have been validated and recognized by industry standards. This approach ensures the excellence and reliability of analyses in the fats and oils sector.

Participation in national and international working groups

As a proactive contributor, ITERG actively participates in the work of expert groups on standardization and regulation, notably withAFNOR, CEN, andISO. This involvement underscores its commitment and influence in the development of standards within its area of expertise.
