This Cambodian Industrial Standard – Standard for Edible Salt (Ordinary, Washed, and Iodized) outlines the national specifications for edible salt. It defines the types of salt covered—ordinary, washed, and iodized—and sets forth the physical and chemical requirements for each, including purity levels, moisture content, pH, and permissible limits of contaminants like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury.
The Standard also provides detailed procedures for testing various components of salt. It emphasizes the importance of iodine fortification for public health and includes qualitative and quantitative tests to verify iodization.
