Summary : Standardization is essential in trading while taking part in the opening and the transparency of the markets. The French organization of oilseeds and fats has integrated standardization in its strategy. The programs mainly relate to sampling and analysis using methods adapted to the needs for the profession at customer‐supplier level. For a few years a strong evolution of the socio‐economic and regulatory context (non food use, food safety, quality insurance) has widened the field of standardization. The standardization processes in the cases of bio‐diesel and GMO detection standardization are described. Consequences and stakes of the standardization trend concerning the oilseeds French Organization are recalled.
