Sodium Chloride Standards

As a result of substitution of European Committee for the Study of Salt (ECSS) to European Salt Producers’ Association (ESPA) in 1993, and the re-organization as EuSalt in 2003, the numbering is now different from that existing previously. The following table gives the correspondences.
