Nutmeg, whole or broken, and mace, whole or in pieces (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) - Specification (First Revision) (ISO 6577:2002, MOD)
This International Standard specifies requirements for nutmeg, whole or broken, and for mace, whole or in pieces,
obtained from the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) for wholesale commercial purposes.
NOTE As nutmeg and mace are obtained from the same plant, it was considered preferable to give the specifications for these
two spices in one International Standard.
It is not applicable to Papua-type nutmeg and mace (Myristica argentea Warburg).
Recommendations relating to storage and transport conditions are given in annex A.
