HMTc Standards

The bound editions

The web standards below and the Program Manuals are the same content at two granularities. The pages are per subcategory and always current; each manual is the citable bound edition of one category, carrying the governance policy, the lot testing schedule and the full derivation of every limit it publishes.

Subcategory standards

350 locked rows across 34 categories. Each publishes in the native basis of its own product form, and each has its own page. Numbering restarts per category, so a citation names both — Seafood 3.1 and Culinary Oils and Fats 3.1 are different standards.

2671 firm analyte limits across 349 subcategories

Every row below is locked and has its own page. An analyte renders a firm limit only once it clears all five shipping gates; a row with no firm cell yet is in force as a page but shows its per-analyte state as in development. The standard widens as the evidence base and governance review clear more cells.
