3.2
cassava as raw material for industrial
fresh cassava used for producing starch, alcohol and other processed products
3.3
cassava for animal feed
fresh cassava used for processing feed or as feed raw material

5 Test methods
5.1 Measuring parts
The pollutant limit indicators such as total arsenic, lead, cadmium, total mercury, starch and hydrogen cyanide are measured in edible parts of fresh cassava (pulp). The pesticide residue limit indicators such as abamectin, acetochlor, trichlorfon, dimethoate and chlorpyrifos are measured in the whole fresh cassava (including peel).
