Abstract

This document explains advantages and disadvantages of the measurement methods for the moisture content determination of plant-based materials in order to identify the best one which can provide metrological traceability to SI units. The term “moisture” is generic and, to have proper Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) and Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), a better specification of the measurand should be given. Currently, no CMCs for moisture content measurement in the plant-origin bulk materials, as well as respective CRMs, are available in the KCDB. Undoubtedly, those CMCs and CRMs are crucially needed to provide metrological traceability in this area.
