This standard shall be applied to the production and processing of raw to heat-treated liquid milk and factory milk for human consumption. Additionally, it covers the composition and labelling of fluid milk, and fluid milk products such as pasteurised, flavoured, condensed and evaporated milk.

Additionally, it does not cover related milk products such as fermented milk products and cheeses.
