[A purity test] tests for trace impurities as well as for other parameters, such as physical properties, [and is] based on current knowledge of the manufacturing process at the time the specifications are prepared. Limits for such constituents are provided at levels that are consistent with current good manufacturing practice and are deemed to be safe and otherwise unobjectionable under conditions in which the additive is customarily employed(including recognition of the acceptable daily intake established for the additive by JECFA [Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives]). 1, record 1, English, - purity%20test

Nitrogen factor is used to measure fish content in processed products like coated fish or fish fillet with added water. When fish is processed under wet conditions under good hygienic practice and good manufacturing practice, there may be some degree of water absorption and loss of soluble nitrogen. Nitrogen factors have been established for some fish species under GMP [good manufacturing practices] and GHP [good hygienic practices] and interim nitrogen factors are available for some species. 2, record 2, English, - nitrogen%20factor
