Overview

ISO 11165:1995 specifies the requirements for dried sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in the form of whole or cut leaves. This international standard, developed by ISO/TC 34 Subcommittee SC 7 (Spices), ensures consistent quality, safety, and authenticity for dried sage products used worldwide. The standard covers physical, chemical, and microbiological specifications, sampling methods, packaging, and labeling requirements. It applies primarily to sage leaves harvested before flowering and subsequently dried, used as a culinary herb, seasoning, or aromatic plant.
