1. Moisture Measurement: Peanuts – provides uniform methods for determining the moisture content of unground samples of peanuts
2. Energy Efficiency of Peanut Drying Systems – tests and evaluates the energy efficiency of peanut drying systems for trailers, direct-fired burners, indirect-fire burners, or heat exchangers
3. ISO 22000:2005 - an organization in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption
