GOST 11246-96 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 11246-96 — "Шрот подсолнечный. Технические условия" / "Sunflower meal. Specifications". This interstate (Межгосударственный) standard specifies technical requirements, quality parameters, sampling and testing methods, packaging, marking and storage rules for sunflower meal produced by pre‑pressing and extraction of pretreated sunflower seeds.

Abstract

GOST 11246-96 establishes the product designation, normative references, allowable physical and chemical characteristics (moisture, residual oil, crude protein, crude fiber, impurities), sizing/particle requirements, safety limits, methods of sampling and laboratory analysis, and rules for packing, labeling and delivery of sunflower meal used primarily as an animal feed ingredient. The standard was developed by the oil-and-fat industry technical committee and introduced for use across member states.

Scope

This standard applies to sunflower meal produced by the pre‑pressing and solvent‑extraction processing of sunflower seeds (forpressing‑extraction scheme). It covers technical conditions for products intended mainly for animal nutrition (feed industry) and related trade, specifying sampling and test methods referenced to established GOST methods. It does not cover unrelated oilseed products or specialty processed meals unless explicitly referenced.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of sunflower meal by processing route (pre‑pressing, extraction) and form (granulated, bulk).
• Quality parameters and limits: moisture content, residual oil content, crude protein, crude fiber, ash, foreign impurities and extraneous matter.
• Hygienic and safety requirements: allowable contamination limits, control of mycotoxins/impurities as referenced to test standards.
• Sampling, sample preparation and analytical methods: references to GOST methods for proximate analysis, oil determination and laboratory testing (e.g., relevant GOST 13496 series and other cited methods).
• Packing, marking, storage and transportation rules for commercial batches; acceptance and rejection criteria at delivery.

Typical use and users

Primary users are feed manufacturers, grain/oilseed processors, agricultural traders, quality control laboratories, and regulatory/inspection bodies in countries that apply or recognize GOST standards. The document is used to specify procurement requirements, conduct acceptance testing, and set product specifications in supply contracts for sunflower meal used in compound feeds and livestock rations.

Related standards

The standard cross‑references numerous GOSTs used for sampling and testing (examples include the GOST 13496 series on feed analysis, GOST methods for oil determination and moisture, and other feed and food safety standards). It replaced parts of the earlier GOST 11246-65 and is part of a set of standards governing oilseed processing by‑products and animal feed materials.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 11246-96 is an interstate standard titled "Sunflower meal. Specifications" that sets technical requirements and test methods for sunflower meal used primarily as animal feed.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definition, acceptable quality characteristics (moisture, residual oil, protein, fiber, impurities), sampling and laboratory test methods, packaging, marking, storage, delivery acceptance and related normative references. Methods and limits are tied to specified GOST analytical standards.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Feed producers, oilseed processors, laboratory analysts, purchasers and regulatory agencies use the standard to set procurement specifications, perform acceptance testing and ensure consistent product quality for animal nutrition.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of the most recent registry entries, GOST 11246-96 is listed as active (действует) and has received amendments/updates (notable registry changes and amendments recorded in 2009–2010 and text updates through 2015). Users should check the national standards registry or the publisher for the latest amendment history before relying on absolute legal/status details.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the family of GOST/GOST-R standards addressing oilseed processing by‑products and animal feed materials and references other analytical and safety GOSTs (for example, the GOST 13496 series and other methods cited within the normative references). It also replaces parts of the older GOST 11246-65.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Sunflower meal, feed, oilseed meal, GOST 11246-96, technical conditions, sampling, testing, residual oil, crude protein, packing/marking.
