The Ecuadorian Standardization Services (INEN in Spanish) published the draft standard NTE INEN 3209 Standard for honey (CODEX STAN 12-1981, MOD). This standard applies to all honeys produced by Apis mellifera bees and regulates all types of honey presentations processed and ultimately intended for direct consumption. Part 2 applies to honey for industrial uses or honey used as an ingredient in other foodstuffs.
