Determining the tests carried out by FOSFA analyst members
As per the terms of the FOSFA contracts, we require analyst member laboratories to conduct analysis on the traded oilseeds, oils and fats using specific contractual tests, unless they are otherwise instructed by their principal.
These tests and methods are stipulated in the Contractual Methods of Analysis document. It details the mandatory and optional tests full and associate member analysts will undertake on commodities traded using our contracts.
- Full Analyst member: The analyst must be able to perform all mandatory tests and declare the optional tests they are capable of conducting.
- Associate Analyst member: The analyst is able to perform the mandatory tests, but is only authorised to carry out limited optional tests (Oils and Fats section), as detailed in the Technical Manual.
