Palm oil and its fractions inspection is a critical quality control process at various stages of the logistics chain. This service minimizes key trade risks such as non-compliance with specifications, discrepancies in quantities, or incomplete documentation during export/import operations.

CISS GROUP provides professional inspection services for palm oil and its fractions to agribusinesses and international trading companies at storage facilities, factories, and ports worldwide.

Inspection of palm oil and its fractions focuses on critical parameters such as anisidine and epoxy (oxirane) numbers. These indicators reveal the production and refining history of oils and predict their antioxidant resistance. Improper production or purification can lead to the accumulation of peroxide compounds, which degrade oil quality and shorten shelf life. Toxic carbonyl and epoxy compounds, harmful to food safety, must be carefully regulated. Current market practices often specify limits for such compounds within contractual terms to ensure compliance.

FOSFA-accredited inspectors and laboratory technicians from CISS GROUP ensure precise and reliable inspection of palm oil and its fractions at any stage of the supply chain, from production to delivery.

Key stages of palm oil and its fractions inspection

Incoming and outgoing inspection

• Conducted during delivery to tanks, ports, or warehouses.
• Visual assessment of containers for storage suitability, cargo condition, labeling compliance, and adherence to transportation and contract specifications.
• Sampling for laboratory analysis is performed in FOSFA-accredited facilities.

Cleanliness checks for containers and vessel holds

• Visual inspection of containers and holds to ensure cleanliness and suitability for transportation.
• Verification of seals, locks, hinges, and the positioning of flexi-tanks (if applicable).

Loading process control and sampling

• Real-time monitoring of the loading process, including weight calculations using the draft survey method.
• Quality assessment and sample collection per FOSFA rules.
• Regular checks of equipment such as pipes, valves, and pumps to prevent leaks or contamination.
• Sealing of containers and holds upon completion. Reports with detailed data are provided to clients with 24/7 availability.

Laboratory analysis of palm oil quality

• Quality parameters tested include:
  • Organoleptic indicators (smell, color, transparency, taste).
  • Laboratory tests: anisidine number, epoxy number, acid number, peroxide value, iodine value, moisture content, volatile substances, and impurities.
  • Advanced testing for pesticides, mycotoxins, GMOs, dioxins, heavy metals, and radioactive elements.

Photo and video documentation

• Each stage of the inspection is documented with timestamped photos and videos.
• A comprehensive photo and video report is provided upon inspection completion.

Certification and digital verification

• Certificates and inspection reports are issued with unique QR codes linking to the CISS GROUP website for verification.
• Certificates are secured with digital cryptographic signatures, ensuring reliability and compliance with banking requirements for trade financing, including letters of credit.

CISS GROUP ensures the highest standards in palm oil and its fractions inspection, offering global expertise, state-of-the-art laboratory analysis, and transparent documentation to support international trade operations.
