Summary
EMI Agro produces to NIS 571:2013 as its reference basis and states results against it on the Certificate of Analysis — the parameter-by-parameter limits live on the specifications hub. Buyers in export markets usually specify their own limits, often tighter on free fatty acid and peroxide value; the standard is the floor and the buyer's spec is the contract.
