4 Introduction The Syrian Arab Standards and Metrology Organization is the national body authorized to prepare national standards in Syria through technical committees composed of representatives of the main bodies concerned with the subject matter of the standard. All concerned parties have the right to express opinions and make observations on this specification during the period of publication of the draft standard. Syrian national Standards are structured and drafted according to the Syrian manual 1/2010, in accordance with the rules of the structure and drafting of Standard Specification of the Syrian Standardization, according to guidelines IEC / ISO, part 2 / 2004, rules of structuring and drafting international standards. Accordingly, the Syrian Arab Standards and Metrology Organization has studied and prepared the draft of the Syrian national standard for (vegetable oils prepared for food) and recommended that it be adopted as a Syrian Standard No. (3770: 2014) according to the law of the Syrian Arab Standards and Metrology Organization, which authorizes it to lay national standards for products, materials and services, and to publish and amend them.
