POINTS OF APPLICATION – ISO 3720 ON BLACK TEA
TESTING METHODS ADOPTED FOR ANALYSIS
Methodology for Monitoring of Quality Standards
• Ex – Factory /Pre Auction /Post Auction / Pre Imports / Post imports / Pre Shipment/Post Shipment/ Retail
• Regular Sample drawing by Tea Inspectors / Instructors
• 1st Analysis for sensory Quality (Appearance ) by Tea Testing Division for crude fiber content which should not exceed 16.5%
• Samples not conforming to ISO 3720 are referred for Analysis to the Tea Board Laboratory
Country : Sri Lanka
Chemical Parameters for Black Tea ISO 3720
Characteristics Requirement
Testing Method
Water extract % (m/m) 32 min. ISO 9768
Total ash ,%(m/m) 8 max.4 min.
ISO 1575
Water – soluble ash, % (m/m of total ash)

3.0 max.
ISO 1578
Acid - insoluble ash %(m/m) 1.0 max. ISO 1577
Crude fiber ,%(m/m) 16.5 max. ISO 5498 or ISO 15598
Total Polyphenoles , %(m/m) 9 min. ISO 14502 - 1
Line of Action – Sri Lanka
• Lines/samples below ISO 3720 std. on account of crude fiber content up to 18% is sent for upgrading to the factory .
• Lines/samples below ISO 3720 std. on account of acid insoluble ash (siliceous matter ) above 1% and up to 2% are sent to the factory for upgrading
• Lines /Samples below ISO 3720 std. in terms of water extract and alkalinity are de-natured
