scope:

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the omega−3 (ω − 3) and omega−6 (ω − 6) fatty acid content in anhydrous milk fat extracted from dairy products supplemented or naturally enriched with these constituents.

The specified procedure allows the evaluation of the most important ω − 3 and ω − 6 fatty acids.

NOTE The notations "omega-3", "ω-3" and "ω3" are erroneous, but in common use, they are equivalent to "ω − 3". The same is true for "omega-6", "ω-6", and "ω6", which are equivalent to "ω − 6".
