Scope

Applies to the specification and classification of cocoa beans intended for food processing and trade. It covers definitions, preparation for grading, general quality requirements, grade standards, sampling procedures, routine test methods, packing and marking instructions, and includes annex guidance on storage and disinfestation measures.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of terms relevant to cocoa-bean quality and handling.
• Preparation procedures for grading and inspection.
• General quality requirements and grade standards for traded cocoa beans.
• Sampling rules to obtain representative samples for classification and testing.
• Specified routine test methods (e.g., for moisture, cut test references) and references to related test standards.
• Packing, marking and labeling requirements for consignments.
• Guidance on storage and disinfestation (annexes provide recommended practices).

Typical use and users

Used by cocoa traders, exporters/importers, quality control laboratories, food processors (chocolate and cocoa product manufacturers), commodity inspectors, and national standards bodies when referencing historical specifications or when evaluating legacy documentation. National bodies or commercial distributors may offer Russian-language versions or adoptions for local use.

Related standards

ISO 2451:1973 was later revised — see ISO 2451:2014 (and subsequent ISO updates/reissues) for more recent specifications. The 1973 text also cross-references related cocoa standards such as ISO/R 1114 (cut test), ISO 2291 (moisture determination routine method), and ISO 2292 (sampling) which are commonly used together for cocoa quality assessment.
