4. Copyright Australian Oilseeds Federation. August 201 4 INTRODUCTION General This Manual is compiled by the Australian Oilseeds Federation Inc. as an industry reference for Quality and Trading Standards (Standards) and Methods of Analysis. Use of these Standards is not mandatory however industry is encouraged to adopt all elements of the Standards where possible. Use and compliance with these Standards will provide consistency in the marketing and trading of oilseeds . Development of Standards The Standards are developed by the Australi an Oilseeds Federation Technical Committee. This is a committee comprising industry experts in relevant fields of breeding, growing, marketing, processing and consumption of a range o f oilseeds. The Standards are reviewed annually and published on the Australian Oilseed Federation website. The Technical C ommittee meets at l e ast three times a year to review all potential changes to the Standards. The procedure for developing standards is included on the AOF website. All changes must be approved by the Committee prior to adoption in the Standards. As these Standards are a direct reflection of ind ustry requirements, industry is encouraged to actively participate in their review and feedb ack from industry at any time is welcome. All feedback should be provided to the Australian Oilseeds Federation in written form. The address for all correspondence is via “Contact Us” on the AOF website, h ttp://www.australianoilseeds.com . Further information relating to technical issues and Standards used by the Australian oilseed industry can also be found at the AOF website. Implementation by Industry Whilst the information in this Manual is current at the time of publication, you will need to monitor the AOF website and other applicable information to ensure that you are aware of the changes to the Standards and the impact on your own trading arrangements. The Standards outlined in this Manual are appl icable for oilseeds harvested during the season of 201 4 /1 5 . DISCLAIMER This Manual lists the specifications and Standards which are agreed to by both the buyer and the seller on a contractual basis. However, this does not absolve either party from complying with the relevant human food and stock feed regulations which may apply at either the Federal and/or State level.
56. I ssue No.13 , August 1, 201 4 Section 1 AOF 1 - 3 Page 56 of 67 4.0 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS 4.1 General Requests for adjustment for quality deficiencies of meals shall be made in writing within 30 days of the date of delivery of the load in question. Where such adjustments are to be made, and unless otherwise agreed to, the Official Samples of both buyer and seller shall be analysed by their respective labor atories and an average of the two results taken. Claims for quality deficiencies of hulls shall be subject to negotiation between buyer and seller. Where stated in the following section and agreed by the buyer, oilseed meals and hulls may be accepted wi th a quality parameter outside the tolerance limit. However acceptance of this oilseed meal or hull over the limit is not mandatory. In relation to premium and deduction adjustments, fractions will be in proportion. The adventitious presence of up to 0 .9% of GM events approved by the Australian Government Office of the Gene Technology Regulator is permitted in the various nominated non - GM canola meals listed in table 1. 4.2 Protein 4.2.1 Moisture within specification Where the crude protein level (or adjusted protein, see 5.2.2) is greater than 0.5% below the minimum trading standard, the selling price shall be adjusted in the proportion that the measured protein bears to that minimum standard. 4.2.2 Moisture outside specification Where the moisture is outside specification, the crude protein level shall be adjusted to the basis of the maximum moisture trading standard and pride adjustments made as in 5.2.1 above using this adjusted protein: Protein, Standard moisture = Protein, actual (100 - Standard m oisture) (100 - Actual moi sture 4.3 Moisture Where the m oisture content is above the maximum trading standard and the meal or hull is accepted, a 1% price deduction shall apply to the selling price up to 1% over the maximum level and a 1.5% price deduction shall apply between 1% and 2% over the maximum level (f ractions in proportion). Meals and hulls are rejectable above 2% over the maximum moisture level. 4.4 Other analyses Should analysis show any other specifications do not meet the trading standard, settlement is to be made between the parties concerned on the basis agreed to at the time of offer acceptance. If a settlement basis has not been defined at that time in the contract, then settlement will be made on a mutually acceptable basis or as decided by a mutually acceptable arbitrator. 5.0 DISPUTED RESULTS Refer to front of Standards Manual for applicable procedures.
53. I ssue No.13 , 1 August 2014 Section 1 AOF 1 - 3 Page 53 of 67 Section 1: AOF 1 - 3, Oilseed (Vegetable Protein) Meals and Hull Quality Standards 1.0 SCOPE 1.1 This document outlines the Quality Specifications for various Oilseed (Vegetable Protein) Meals and Hulls obtained from the processing of oilseeds. The Standards listed in this document apply to all oilseed meals and hulls traded and are to apply at Receival and / or on outturn, whi chever is applicable. 1.2 Notwithstanding the specifications outlined in this document, all oilseed meals and hulls sold for incorporation into stockfeed must comply with the relevant Federal and / or State stockfeed or agricultural regulations. 1.3 In pa rticular oilseed meals and hulls must comply with the maximum residue levels (MRLs) and any other quality specifications listed in both the FSANZ Food Standards Code and the APVMA MRL Standard (maximum residue limits in food and animal feedstuffs). Require ments of State Health Acts and Regulations must be observed where appropriate. 1.4 Sampling procedures must be followed to ensure that the Official Sample used for analysis is representative of the consignment. 1.5 For domestic trading, Official Samples sh all be taken by the buyer and seller respectively at the time of receival and dispatch of each load. Samples shall be retained for at least two months after dispatch. 1.6 Specifications and price adjustments recorded are applicable to the analysis of Offic ial Samples taken and tested according to the prescribed methods. 2.0 PROCEDURES N/A Where a commodity does not have a tolerance for that particular quality parameter as indicated by “n/a” (not applicable), a test for that quality parameter is not required. Retention For all meals, retention is to be assessed as follows: 3 mm screen using woven wire DIN 3, 200g sample for 3 minutes, or 2 mm screen using woven wire US10 DIN 2, 200g sample for 3 minutes. 3.0 QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS The Quality Specifications as outlined in Table 1 apply to all oilseed meals and hulls traded at any stage in the supply chain . Any variations to the specifications for a particular trade are to be stated in the contract between the buyer and the seller. The gossypol content for cottonseed is either maximum 0.10% (solvent extracted) or 0.12% (pressed). Any variation to the general standard for crude protein shall be specified in the contract.
17. Issue No. 1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF - Definitions Page 17 of 67 Ryegrass Ergot Ryegrass ergot is Claviceps purpurea infection of ryegrass kernels. Ergot produces elongated fungus bodies with a purplish - black exterior, a purplish - white to off white interior and a relatively smooth surface texture. Tolerances are defined in terms of the overall length in cm when pieces found in the sample are aligned end on end. Ryegrass Ergot for all commodities is included in Impurities. Sand and Soil Sand or Soil is generally regarded as unconsolidated mineral or organic material and may also co nsist of clumps of earth and grains of sand. For all commodities S and and Soil are included in Impurities. Sand A grain of Sand is defined as a particle of unconsolidated (loose), rounded to angular rock fragment or mineral grain between 0.06mm and 2.00mm in diameter. Smaller material is classified as Soil. Soil Soil is d efined as unconsolidated minerals (i . e ., sand, silt and clay) mixed with organic matter. The definition of Soil also includes clods of dirt. There is no size limit for Soil. Sand and Soil is to be determined as a % by weight in the entire half litre sampl e. Refer also to Stones. Saponification Value The Saponification value (or "Saponification number") is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify 1g of fat under the conditions specified. It is a measure of the average molecular weight of all the fatty acids present. The Saponification value is reported to the nearest whole number. Sclerotes Sclerotes is a disease caused by the fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. For all commodities Sclerotes are included in Impurities. Canola and Rapeseed (CSO1, CSO1a, CSJ1a, CSO2) In relation to canola and rapeseed, t he Sclerotes are initially white but harden to form small black structures which vary in size and shape. They may be small and round like a canola seed or up to 2 cm long and cylindrical, ovoid or irregular in shape. For canola and rapeseed , Sclerotes are to be determined as a percentage by weight of the entire half litre sample and expressed to the nearest 0.1%. Edible Soybeans For Edible Soybeans, a nil tolerance in the entire load applies to all Sclerotes o n any commodity . Seed Seed refers to whole or pieces of seed coats and kernels of the oilseed being assessed. Small Foreign Seeds Small F oreign S eeds only applies to edible soybeans. They are those weed seeds that fall through the screen and into the catch pan during the sieving process and do not have a specific tolerance nominated in the list of Weed Seeds in the Seed Contaminants section of each Standard . When soybeans are being assesse d, if small soybeans fall through a 4.75mm screen they are not included a s a S mall F oreign S eed.

Includes Fusarium (pink) fungal stained.
45. Issue No.1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF 1 - 1 Page 45 of 67 4.0 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS 4.1 General Where stated in the comment/price adjustment column and agreed by the buyer, several commodities may be accepted at Receival with an impurities level over the tolerance limit. However acceptance of commodities over this limi t is not mandatory. Where a commodity is accepted over the Standard limit for impurities, in addition to the adjusting charge the buyer may also apply a grading charge which is calculated at their own discretion. For cottonseed, no price adjustments are applicable for impurity content. For other commodities, namely linseed, polyunsaturated & monounsaturated sunflower, safflower, edible and crushing soybean, canola, linola, rapeseed and peanuts, the impurity content or, where over 4%, the corrected impu rity content, shall be deducted from the gross weight of seed received to give the Corrected Net Weight from which shall be calculated the Clean Seed Value. The Clean Seed Value shall be the basis for calculation of all premiums and deductions. In relat ion to premium and deduction adjustments, fractions will be in proportion. Peanuts for oil extraction are generally purchased as a by - product of the preparation of food - grade nuts. In this case rejection clauses may not apply. Price adjustments shall be a pplied to the Clean Seed Value. 4.2 Corrected Net Weight For linseed, polyunsaturated & monounsaturated sunflower, safflower and crushing soybean the standard impurity limit is 4%, over which the seed is rejectable. If accepted, the gross weight shall be adjusted by a 1% deduction for each 1% of impurity up to 4% and a 2% deduction for each 1% of impurity over 4% (fractions in proportion). For canola, linola and rapeseed the standard impurity limit is 3%, over which the seed is rej ectable. If accepted, the gross weight shall be adjusted by a 1% deduction for each 1% of impurity up to 4% and thereafter a 2% deduction for each 1% of impurity over 4% (fractions in proportion). For peanuts , the standard impurity limit is 4%, over which the seed is rejectable. If accepted, the gross weight shall be adjusted by a 1% deduction for each 1% of impurity up to 4% and thereafter a 1.5% deduction for each 1% of impurity over 4% (fractions in proport ion). 4.3 Clean Seed Value Clean Seed Value is the price per tonne of a commodity multiplied by the corrected net weight. Adjustments shall then be applied to the Clean Seed Value as follows: 4.3.1 Oil Content For safflower seed a 2% premium or deduc tion applies for each 1% of oil content above or below the standard respectively (fractions in proportion). For al l other commodities where an oil tolerance is stated in the standard, a 1.5% premium or deduction applies for each 1% of oil content above or below the standard respectively (fractions in proportion). 4.3.2 Moisture - Where stated in the relevant standard, receivals above the maximum limit may occur for particular commodit ies , with deductions as detailed in the Standard. 4.3.3 Broken or Split Seed For those commodities with a tolerance for broken or split seeds , excepting edible soybeans , a 0.5% deduction applies for each 1% of broken or split seeds above the maximum l imit (fractions in proportion).
60. I ssue No.13 , August 1, 201 4 Section 1 AOF 2 - 1 Page 60 of 67 3.4.2 Value of Seed Intakes and Total Seed Stored a. Calculate the weight and value of seed into storage for each party in the pool using the average analysis of each party's intake at the agreed seed price. From these calculate the total pool weight and value. Pool intake values shall be of the dried seed where drying has been undertaken . b. Calculate the average total pool analysis. Calculate the value of each party's intake at average pool analysis by taking a proportion of the total pool value based on each party's weight to total pool weight. 3.4.3 Seed Balances a. Preliminary Base Adjustment: At the completion of receivals, determine the excess or deficit of the calculated seed value for each party taking the seed value out as being equivalent to the receival weight at the total pool average analysis. These adjustments will be self - balancing: Base Adjustment = Value in Value at average pool analysis A positive result indicates a credit due to the party and vice versa. These are the first payments made to all parties at the completion of receivals. b. Overall Seed Value Balance When all outturns have been made from the pool determine the overall seed value balance for the pool "in" minus “out” in this case using actual weights out of storage for each party and the total po ol but still at the average pool value (ie analysis). c. Determine the proportion of the value of intakes plus outturns (at average analysis) for each party in relation to the total value of intakes plus outturns (at average analysis). Intakes and transfe rs do not include any transfers between parties to the pool (see 3.3 above). d. Apportion the overall seed value balance, either as a debit or credit as appropriate, to each party according to (see 3.4.3, c.). In this case a positive result indicates a de bit to the party and vice versa. 3.4.4 Outturn Guarantee Determine the extent, if any, that the total outturn value is below the guarantee as specified in the contract and credit each party for any deficiency in terms of seed value in the proportion of t he value of seed each has received and out - turned (see 4.3.4, c). These payments are payable by the Pool Manager. 3.4.5 Supplementary Final Adjustment Subtract the Preliminary Base Adjustment from the corresponding Total Pool Adjustment to give a final outstanding credit/debit to be applied to each participant and the Manager (if required).
58. I ssue No.13 , August 1, 201 4 Section 1 AOF 2 - 1 Page 58 of 67 Section 1: AOF 2 - 1, Common Storage of Oilseeds - Accounting for Gains/Losses 1.0 DEFINITION This Standard gives a means of determining losses in common storage and their allocation to pool participants. In principle, seed is valued on receival and outturn: loss in value due to loss of stock, weighing errors, analysis errors, etc. as well as gains are divided among participants. On the other hand, losses a bove a guaranteed level are allocated to the Pool Manager. However, the disadvantage of the procedure has been that it requires finalisation of the pool before allocations can be made; this leads to unacceptable delays because the pool is mostly not final ised for some time after completion of the intake. Costs of sampling and testing of outturns and the differences noted in analyses have also been of concern, even though effects of the latter are covered in the standard. This current revision offers a com promise to satisfy these concerns: value allocations are made on finalisation of intakes to participants according to a comparison of the intake value of each at average receival analysis with the value of the receival weight at average total pool analysis . The assumption is that all outturns will be at intake weight and near enough to average pool quality. At completion of the pool a final supplementary adjustment is made for each party for the actual weight of outturns together with any deficiency for gua ranteed outturn that may be payable by the Pool Manager. 2.0 GUARANTEED OUTTURN The Pool Manager shall guarantee a percentage outturn yield based on the value of the intake (or a percentage of the pool intake weight valued at average pool analysis) and this shall be specified in the contract. If the value of the total outturn at average pool analysis is less than this calculated yield value, the Manager shall make a credit of the deficiency to the parties using the facility. The major portion of such cre dit can be made with seed of no lesser quality than the pool average. The Pool Manager shall direct all outturn deliveries to those participating in the storage programme and to no other party except by direction of one of the parties (see 3.3 below). Any guarantee adjustment shall be made according to the proportion of the value of the intakes (at intake analysis) plus outturns for each party (at average pool analysis) to the value of total intakes plus outturns so calculated. 3.0 MATERIALS BALANCES 3.1 Seed Price 3.1.1 The price of seed at standard quality, clean seed basis, shall be agreed upon by participating parties and shall reflect the value of the seed accumulated at the time of intake including storage costs. It shall be specified in the agreem ent. 3.1.2 This price, adjusted for quality (oil content, clean seed basis, impurities and other parameters to be determined by the parties) according to the provisions of the AOF * , shall be used for determining seed value in storage calculations. 3.1.3 Where transfers within the pool are made between participating parties to the pool, the price of the seed traded or transferred between parties will only be of concern to the parties involved (see 3.3 below). 3.2 Analysis 3.2.1 Seed into storage shall be sampled and analysed according to the Quality Standards of the AOF whose provisions for disputed results shall also apply. Samples shall be stored in sealed plastic bags or containers in a protected area to minimise moisture changes. Analyses shall be car ried out by an independent NATA* Laboratory or as otherwise agreed. * AOF - Australian Oilseeds Federation Inc

A ll Other Oil seeds (except canola, rapeseed, crushing soybeans , edible soybeans and peanuts ) A ll hulls, kernels or parts thereof, not otherwise damaged retained above the screen. Cascade Rule In relation to Edible Milling grade soybeans, if a sample fails this standard, it may be received as Edible Manufacturing grade soybeans providing it meets that standard. Chlorophyll The presence of high chlorophyll in seed devalues the seed and subsequent oil extracted from that seed. Green seed is an indicator of chlorophyll only. Chlorophyll is the primary method for assessment and green seed assessment is the secondary assessment method in canola . Chlorophyll ass essment always over - rides the gree n seed count . Chlorophyll is to be measured by spectrophotometer and the amount reported in ppm. Clean Seed Clean seed includes all seed material of the particular oilseed being tested other than that defined as I mpurities i.e., material retained above the screen after screening (where applicable) and /or removal of I mpurities. Cold Pressed Oil Cold pressed oils are edible vegetable oils obtained by mechanical extraction from the parent oilseed without pre - cooking or heating and without subsequent chemical extraction and/or chemical refining. They may have been purified by washing with water, settling, filtering and centrifuging only. Colour For colour, analysis is to occur via different methods as indicated, with res ults expressed in AOCS Lovibond units or Gardner 1933. Where specified, the maximum Red value is indicated by R and the maximum Yellow value is indicated by Y. For all oil types and all methods, the colour value is to be reported to the nearest whole numb er. Corrected Net Weight The resultant weight once the I mpurity content has been deducted from the gross weight. Only applies to linseed, sunflower, safflower, soybean, canola, linola, rapeseed and peanuts. Crude Fibre Crude fibre is a mixture of largely indigestible substances of vegetable origin and consists chiefly of cellulose and other vegetable cell wall substances. Crude fibre is to be determined from the entire sample and reported to the nearest percent. Crude Oil Crude oil, sometimes referred to a s raw oil, is oil in an unrefined or natural state. Crude Protein Crude protein is defined as the amount of protein in the sample of meal or hull, based on the amount of nitrogen in the meal or hull. Crude protein is to be analysed on the entire sample . It is calculated from the total nitrogen content i.e., % Protein = Total Nitrogen (%) x 6.25 and reported to the nearest percent. Damaged Damaged refers to oilseed commodit i es that are materially damaged that may or may not be defined within these Standards . Each quality parameter included in the Damaged category is separately defined within these Standards:

The closed cup equilibrium method is to be used and the result reported to the nearest degree Cel sius. Foots Foots is defined as the sediment (fine solids) that forms during the refining of oil. Foots are to be reported as a percentage of the total oil content, reported to the nearest 1%. Foreign Material Refer to Impurities. Fractions in Proportion This term relates to the determination of premiums and discounts for various quality parameters. Refer to Section 1: AOF 2 - 1, for more details on how to calculate results. Free Fatty Acids Free fatty acids shall be defined as oleic acid unless otherwise specified. Free fatty acid content is to be determined on a weight basis on clean seed. All results are to be reported to the nearest 0.1%. Frost Damaged Frost damaged seeds are those seeds affected by frost during the growing phase. Seeds are generally recognised as intact shells only with no core. Frost Damaged seed is included in Damaged seeds . Frost damaged seed is to be determined as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1%. Genetic Modification The adventitious presence of up to 0.9% of GM events approved by the Australian Government Office of the Gene Technology Regulator is allowed in non - GM canola. Canola is rejectable over this limit. The adventitious presence of up to 5% of GM events approved by the Australian Government Office of the Gene Technology Regulator is allowed in non - GM canola meal. Canola meal is rejectable over this limit. Where required, g enetic modified seed or meal is to be expressed as the percentage by weight of the clean seed o r meal and reported to the nearest 0.1%. Germination Germination is defined as the initiation of growth of a dormant seed. Depending on the seed type, the definition may refer to different levels of initial growth of the seed that is seen visually by the n aked eye. Glucosinolates The glucosinolates are a class of organic compounds that contain sulphur, nitrogen and a group derived from glucose. They occur as secondary metabolites of many plants and plants use substances derived from glucosinolates as natur al pesticides and as a defence against herbivores. Glucosinolates are to be determined from the entire sample and reported to the nearest micromole per gram of oil - free air - dry solids. Gossypol Gossypol is a toxic phenolic compound that occurs in seed as a natural defence against insects. Gossypol effects the animals fed the resultant oilseed meal. Gossypol is to be determined on the entire sample and reported to the nearest 0.01%. Green Seeds Green seeds are those that are distinctively green when crushed, or show an intense green colour. Seeds that are yellow - green are not considered green.
21. Issue No. 1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF - Definitions Page 21 of 67 Variet al Master List The Varietal Master List for each commodity all varieties approved for classification into a particular commodity and grade. V isual R ecognition S tandards G uide The Visual Recognition Standards Guide (VRSG) for various commodities contains a range of photographs and illustrations to supplement the oilseed Standards as outlined in this Manual. The definitions in this Manual are to be read in conjunction with the ph oto in the VRSG where shown which depicts the minimum affected standard for a seed to be classified as the respective defect shown. Refer Section 1 General Procedures for details on the latest version of the VRSG. Weather Damaged – Canola and Rapeseed (CSO1, CSO1a, CSJ1a, CSO2) Weather Damaged seeds are classified under Damaged Seeds. Weather damaged seeds are those that have been subjected to rain during the maturation phase to the extent that they have become Weather damaged . When seeds are crushed, t hey may have a grey washed out appearance and a chalky texture. Weather damaged seed is to be determined as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1%. For canola, this definition is to be read in conjunction w ith the photo in the Visual Recognition Standards Guide which depicts the minimum affected standard for canola to be classified as Weather Damaged. Weather Stained Weather Stained seeds are classified under Damaged Seeds. Weather stained seed is to be determined as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1% except for Edible Soybeans . Canola and Rapeseed (CSO1, CSO1a, CSJ1a , CSO2) Refer to Weather Damaged. Peanuts Weather Stained does not apply. Edible Soybeans Weather Stained r efers to discolouration of the seed coat that may be visible in various shapes and shades outside of the normal colour for that variety. It includes : Seed coats that have a colour that is distinctly different to that of the predominant variety in the sample. E xcessive seed coat staining such as purple staining. Discolouration caused by any means which may or may not be able to be determined. For Edible Soybeans, Weather Stained is to be determined as the number of grains per half litre retained above the screen. Commodities except canola, rapeseed, edible soybeans and peanuts A general term used to describe visible discolouration to the seed coat by any means that may or may not otherwise be defined or be distinguishable from other defects in these Standards. Discolouration of the seed coat may be visible in various shapes and shades outside of the normal colour for that variety. Weed Seeds The total weed seed content is to be included in the assessment of I mpurities. There are specific tolerances for various weed seeds for each commodity. In addition there are separate toleran ces for specific weed seeds that are common to all commodities as outlined in table 8 below except for edible soybeans which have a separate list of weed seeds. Refer also to the definition of Small Foreign Seeds.
10. Issue No. 1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF - Definitions Page 10 of 67 Canola and Rapeseed (CSO1, CSO1a, CSJ1a, CSO2) While being within the definition of Defectives, a separate tolerance for Green seeds appl ies to canola and rapeseed . Green seed is to be determined on the clean seed retained above the 1.0mm screen and reported to the nearest 0.1%. Where Green canola seed is measured, the Chlorophyll result overrides any Green seed result determined by the 100 or 500 grain seed ruler method. For canola, this definition is to be read in conjunction with the photo in the Visual Recognition Standards Guide which depicts the minimum affected standard for canola to be classifi ed as Green. Refer also to Chlorophyll. Peanuts Green seeds are not assessed. Edible Soybeans A separate definition and tolerance exists for Green seeds. Green seeds are those soybeans that show an intense green colour and are of a chalky consistency. All Other Commodities (except Canola, Rapeseed, Peanuts and Edible Soybeans) For all other commodities Green seeds are included in the definition and tolerance within Defectives. Heat Damaged and Bin Burnt These seed defects have been categorised together as the differences between them can be difficult to distinguish. Different tolerances for each quality parameter may apply depending on the oilseed commodity. Heat damaged or B in B urnt seed are those seeds and pieces of seed that are materially discoloured and damaged by heat. S eeds may have a heated odour or a brown powdery appearance when crushed. Heat damaged or B in B urnt is to be assessed on the number of seeds in a 1,000 seed sample . Canola and Rapese ed (CSO1, CSO1a, CSJ1a, CSO2) For canola and rapeseed , the assessment is based on the visual appearance of the grains when crushed. T his definition is to be read in conjunction with the photo in the Visual Recognition Standards Guide which depicts the minimum affected standard for a canola seed to be classified as Heat Damaged and Bin Burnt. Refer also to Mouldy. Heat Test The Heat T est determines the cloud and break temperature, the amount of break and quality of heat bleach of oil when exposed to high temperature. Results are to be expressed as a descriptor of the break and bleach at the relevant temperature. Immature Immature seeds are those that have not developed fully. Seeds may appear soft when pressed or crushed. Immature seeds are a part of Damaged seed.

Issue No. 1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF - Definitions Page 13 of 67 Moisture, Volatiles and Imp urities For all oils, the moisture, volatiles and impurities content is to be determined on a weight basis. For bleached or refined oils, the results are to be reported to the nearest 0.01%. For all other oil types, the results are to be reported to the ne arest 0.1%. Mouldy Mouldy refers to seeds that have become affected by the development of fungi or bacteria due to an increase in seed moisture levels during storage or arising in the field. Affected seeds may appear discoloured, rotten, swollen and soft, feel spongy under pressure, show the presence of fungal spores or visibly affected by mould on the seed coat. Note a nil tolerance applies where affected seeds emit a mouldy odour. Refer also to Heat Damaged / Bin Burnt. Canola and Rapeseed (CSO1, C SO1a, CSJ1a, CSO2) For canola and rapeseed , Mouldy include s Field Fungi seeds. This definition is to be read in conjunction with the photo in the Visual Recognition Standards Guide which depicts the minimum affected standard for canola to be classified as Mouldy. The tolerance applies to the number of grains in a 1,000 seed sample. Cottonseed For cottonseed, the tolerance applies to the number of seeds in a 0.5kg sample. All Other Commodities (except canola , rapeseed and cottonseed ) T he tolerance applies to the number of grains in a half litre sample. National Re sidue Survey The National Residue Survey (NRS) gathers information and supplies chemical residue results on domestic and export oilseed commodities. The NRS results show Australian oilseed is of a high quality with respect to residues and contaminants. Al l oilseed exporters , container packers , bulk export terminal operators, Bulk Handling Companies and processors are encouraged to actively participate in the NRS oilseeds residue monitoring program. Contravention of an overseas MRL may cause the rejection of cargoes resulting in severe financial cost being incurred and potentially jeopardising Australian oilseed ex ports into that market. Information about the NRS is located at: http://www.daff.gov.au/agriculture - food/nrs Nil Unless otherwise stated, n il in these Standards means a level of zero and/or not d etected : I n a half litre sample representative of the entire load (or parcel of oilseed being assessed) ; or In any subsequent sub - sample used for assessment; or I n the load prior to or during the sampling process; or I n/on the delivery vessel ; or A t any stage of the receival process. Objectionable Material This includes harmful substances and material which may or may not be listed in these Standards that significantly devalues the appearance of the commodity, imparts an unacceptable odour, renders the commodity unfit for human or animal consumption , is commercially unacceptable or is a food safety issue. Material i nclude d in this definition varies by oil seed commodity. There may be separate tolerances in some commodities for particular quality parameters within Objectionable Material.

Subjective Test A subjective test is where the analysis result is determined using visual analysis and includes all Defective Seed tests (bin burnt, diseased, frost damaged, heat damaged, insect damaged, weather damaged, weather stained and immature), Broken and Split seed, Sprouted, Green seed and Chlorophyll (ruler method). Temperature For all commodities, t he maximum temperature of the oilseed tendered for delivery is 50 O C. Test Weight Test weight is a measure of the bulk density or volume of the oilseed based on the entire sample as received, measured in kilograms per hectolitre. Test weight is to be reported to the nearest 0.1kg/hl. Trade Certified Trade Certified refers to equipment whose model has a Certificate of Approval issued by the National Measurement Institute and which is monitored f or use under an approved program by the user of that equipment. Unlimited In these Standards means no limit applies and the parameter does not need to be assessed. That is, no minimum or maximum tolerance exists. The quality parameter may exist at unlimit ed levels in the sample being assessed as per these Standards or the test is not required to be conducted for that quality parameter . Unsaponifiable Matter Unsaponifiable matter includes those substances frequently found dissolved in fatty acids and drying oils which cannot be saponified by caustic treatment, but which are soluble in the normal fat solvents. Included are the higher aliphatic alcohols, sterols, pigments, and hydrocarbons. Unsaponifiable matter is to be reported to the nearest 0.1%. Varietal Restrictions For particular commodities only certain approved varieties are able to be received into a particular grade. This is termed Varietal R estrictions. Refer to the Varietal Master List for each commodity which lists the classification of each varie ty. Variety This is the next lowest level taxonomic rank of a plant below that of the term “species”. Oilseeds of differing varieties have differing genetic compositions which may endow them with differing agronomic characteristics, and/or differing end product qualit y characteristics.

If the receival testing equipment is T rade C ertified, any further clauses under this section do not apply. 1.6 If the owner or representative continues to dispute the test result(s) and if the load has not been rejected then it will only be received and binned as per the site classification. 1.7 Duplicate one (1) litre samples will be taken and placed into appropriately marked sample bags, which are then to be sealed. One sample is to be retained on site for a period of 2 months and one is to be forwarded to an A ppropriately C ertified L aboratory for a full classifi cation as per the Standards for that commodity. 1.8 The costs of laboratory testing, including sample freight and other related external costs will be borne by the person originating the dispute, unless the results of the laboratory testing result in the loa d being classified into a higher grade or at least a 1% increase in oil content or a 30% relative reduction in impurities. In this case the receiver of the load shall pay the testing costs. All internal costs shall be borne by each party. 1.9 Where laborator y facilities are available, testing in these premises using reference methods shall take precedence for rejection over in - field assessment using rapid assessment methods. 1.10 For the determination of Oil Content, in cases of dispute, the prescribed solvent ex traction method shall be the basis for decision unless otherwise agreed to by mutual decision. The results of oil content re - tests shall be adjusted to the basis of the moisture content at the time of delivery but only where oven moisture is available on t he original test otherwise the original moisture result is to apply. 2. Consignment Deliveries 2.1 If in place, a Storage and Handling Agreement may over - ride the terms and conditions outlined in the following procedure. 2.2 All loads being delivered must be sampled in accordance with AOF approved sampling methods. 2.3 Trade disputes, unless otherwise agreed will be settled on a load by load basis. Contracts for the delivery of oilseeds should nominate and agree an A ppropriately Certified laboratory to resolve di sputes prior to the commencement of delivery. The contract should also nominate and agree if “quality is final on outturn” or “quality is final on delivery”. If the testing equipment is trade certified, any further clauses under this section do not apply . 2.4 For each load received, two clearly identified, sealed 1/2 litre samples shall be retained for a period of 2 months. The name of the person responsible for collecting the sample shall be clearly identifiable. If no dispute is lodged within this period, the samples may be disposed of and no further quality disputes will be accepted on the loads represented by these samples. 2.5 For each load disputed, one of the load samples shall be sent to the agreed laboratory for analysis. The laboratory shall be made aware that the samples are to settle a trade dispute under these rules and the AOF reference methods shall be used to settle the dispute. A full classification must be undertaken for each load.

Issue No.1 3 , 1 August 201 4 Section 1 AOF 1 - 1 Page 25 of 67 Section 1: AOF 1 - 1, Oilseed Quality Standards 1.0 SCOPE 1.1 This document outlines the Quality Specifications for the various oilseeds as listed in these Standards. The Standards apply to all oilseeds and are to apply at Receival and / or on outturn, whichever is applicable. 1.2 Notwithstanding the specifications outlined in this document, all oilseeds and oilseed products (i.e. oil, meal and hulls) must comply with the relevant Federal and / or State stockfeed or agricultural regulations. 1.3 In particular oilseeds and oilseeds products must comply with the maximum residue levels (MRLs) l isted in both the FSANZ Food Standards Code and the APVMA MRL Standard (maximum residue limits in food and animal feedstuffs). 1.4 Sampling procedures as outlined in Section Two must be followed to ensure that the Official Sample used for analysis is repre sentative of the consignment. 1.5 For domestic trading, the Official Sample shall be taken by the buyer or their appointed agent at the receival point at the time of receipt of the lot, or as otherwise agreed to. Samples shall be retained by the buyer for at least two months after receival. 1.6 The following Quality Standards and price adjustments are applicable to the results of the analysis of Official Samples tested according to the prescribed methods outlined in Section Two. 2.0 GENERAL PROCEDURES 1. The Standards listed in the following tables and all other information detailed in this section applicable to these Standards, are to be applied to each individual load of the respective oilseed commodity. 2. With the exception of I mpurities, T est W eight and M oisture, all analyses shall be conducted and reported on a clean seed basis. 3. A consignment containing Objectionable Material that is detected at any stage of the receival process shall be rejectable. 4. Protein (dry matter basis) = protein ‘as is’ x 100 / (100 – ‘as is’ moisture). 5. Where a commodity does not have a minimum or maximum tolerance for that particular quality parameter as indicated by “ Unlimited ”, a test for that quality parameter is not required. 6. A strictly nil tolerance applies where a commo dity has a tolerance of “nil” listed. 7. For commodities that have a tolerance listed at a “base level”, receival of a commodity with a quality parameter above or below that base level may occur with consent between the two parties and with the application of appropriate discounts. 8. Where the Standards states “rejectable over a specified limit” or “rejectable under” or similar wording , the commodity may either be accepted or rejected depending on agreement between the relevant parties . 3.0 REFERENCE MATER IALS 1. A range of Reference Material may need to be referred to when applying these Standards. 2. At the time of publishing this Manual, the following photographic Reference Material referred to in this Manual is considered by AOF to be suitable as an aid to the classification of oilseeds. 3. Industry should be aware that all such material is controlled by the author of that material and appropriate copies of that material can be obtained from the author. 4. The method of printing, copying, storing, using or other wise obtaining such Reference Material may impact on the appearance of its content. This may impact on the classification of oilseeds. Industry should note the method of publication of the material by the author and other relevant information such as versi on number to ensure they have the appropriate version.

Note however for Live Stored Product Insects and live Pea Weevil a nil tolerance applies – refer to the definition of Stored Product Insects. Separate tolerances for pieces of Insects Large and Small do not apply. W hole and pieces of Insects Large and Small are included in Impurities. Insects Large and Small are to be reported to the nearest whole number in the entire half litre sample. Iodine Value The iodine value shall be defined as the Wijs Iodine value. The iodine value for various oil types varies subject to seasonal variation with the range permitted as specified for the various oils listed in the Quality S pecifications table. For all oil types, the iodine value is to be reported to the n earest whole number. Load A load is a bulk unit tendered for delivery. Linoleic, Linolenic, Oleic Acid For all oil types, the Linoleic, Linolenic or Oleic Acid content is to be determined by gas chromatography on a weight by weight basis and the result is to be reported to the nearest percent. Maximum Residue Limits Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) are the maximum amount of a chemical residue or its metabolite that is legally permitted on or in an agricultural commodity. These MRLs a re set at levels which are not likely to be exceeded if the agricultural or veterinary chemicals are used in accordance with approved label instructions and can be found on the ComLaw website at http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2014C00821 Australian MRLs may differ significantly from those prescribed by foreign countries and the International Codex Alimentarius Commission. Consequently oilseed exporters must be aware of MRLs of importing countri es and which countries accept Codex MRLs. Foreign country MRLs may be accessed directly from foreign government websites or the NRS grains database at http ://www.daff.gov.au/agriculture - food/nrs/nrs - australian - and - overseas - mrl - database . Industry should always confirm the accuracy of these MRL listings through their own means . Meals Oilseed meals are the product remaining after oil production and are a good source of protein for stockfeed. Moisture Content This is the amount of water present in the sample as determined by the appropriate analytical method. The addition of water to an oilseed prior to tendering for delivery is prohibited. Rapid direct reading moisture testers shall be used only as a guide for acceptance or rejection of a consignment by the crusher or his agent. Where a moisture deduction is to be made from a receival account, the results of the prescribed oven test method expressed to the near est 0.1%, as received basis, shall be applied. Moisture deductions shall only be based on the results obtained in this way. Moisture content is to be determined on the entire sample as received and reported to the nearest 0.1%.

Degummed Oil Degumming is the process of separating phosphatides/gums by using degumming agents such as water, enzymes and other permitted chemicals. The phosphatides content shall be expressed as the amount of Phosphorus (as phosphatides) in the oil, expressed to the nearest ppm. Dehulled A dehulled seed is a seed that has the hull completely removed from the kernel. Discoloured – Edible Soybeans only Refer to Weather Stained. Diseased Diseased are those seeds that have not matured as per a normal seed. The Diseased seed may be caused by a number of factors including pathogens, insufficient nutrients or pollution. Seeds are generally whole and do not fall into other damaged seed categories listed in the definitions section. Disease d seed is to be classified a s a part of Damaged seed. Diseased seed is to be determined as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1%. Earth Refer to the definition for Sand and Soil . Field Fungi - Edible Soybeans only Field fungi affected seeds are those that have the seed coat discoloured by fungal spores due to the presence of air - borne fungal spores that adhere to the surface of the seed , generally after rain. Fungi grow on the seed as a result of high moisture condi tions during the maturation phase. Field fungi seeds are to be classified as part of Damaged seed under Weather Stained . Field Fungi causes a purple stain on the seed coat. Field fungi seed is to be determined as the number of grains per half litre of th e clean seed retained above the screen. Refer to Weather Stained. Flash Point The Flash point is defined as the lowest temperature, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.3 kPa (760 mm Hg), at which the application of an ignition source causes the vapours above the surface of the oil

An individual seed may only be classified as one defect type with in the Damaged category. Where this applies, a seed is to be classified as the defect type with the tightest tolerance in the standard. Defective There are a range of quality parameters that cause oilseed commodities to be classified as D efective. The category in which a defect type is classified varies by commodity. Each defect type may: Have a separate tolerance (e.g., Broken or Split , Heat Damaged/Bin Burnt, Mouldy ) Have a nil tolerance (e.g., musty seed) Be included in the category of Damaged Be in cluded in the category of Defective Be included in the category of Defective but within that category have a maximum tolerance Not be applicable (e.g., for Peanuts, no D efective quality parameters are applicable) For all types of Defective seed where a t olerance exists, each quality parameter is to be determined as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1% or a count of the number of grain s per half litre or other sized sample . An individual seed may only be classified as one defect type . Where a seed has more than one defect, the seed is to be classified based on the quality parameter with the tightest tolerance in the applicable standard.

For those Foreign Seed s in Pods as listed in table 8 above: The pods are to be broken open and the individual weed seeds counted The whole pods or pieces of pods remaining after seeds have been removed and counted are to be included as Impurities. For those Foreign Seed s in Pods not listed in table 8 above: The pods (and any pieces of pods) are included as Impurities. Weed seeds are to be reported to the nearest whole number and are to be determined based o n their number in the entire sample received. Weed Stained – Edible Soybeans Weed Stained grains refer to those edible soybean seeds that are stained due to the presence of an exudates from a weed. The exudate adheres to the edible soybean seed or causes a dhesion of other Impurities such as earth. A common weed seed causing purple staining is Nightshade. Weed Stained is included as a part of Damaged for Edible Soybeans only. Weed Stained seed is to be taken as a percentage of the clean seed retained above the screen expressed to the nearest 0.1%.

V C Mehlenbacher “Analysis of Fats and Oil” (The Garrard Press). Tintometer brochure “Lovibond Colour Scale Renotation”. Note The Lovibond scale listed applies to models up to Model D. Model E uses the “renotated Lovibond glasses”. It gives a slightly higher reading on the red scale with the same yellow scale up to 20Y. Over this there is a slight change in the renotated yellow glasses. The AOCS re d scale is the renotated red values multiplied by 0.95. This has been taken into account in the above conversion. The Gardner 1933 scale (Hellige discs 620C - 40 and 620C - 42) gives a much better colour comparison for vegetable oils than the colours of ASTM D 1544 (Hellige discs 620C - 43 and 620C - 44).
