DIN EN ISO 21294:2016-05

This International Standard specifies the requirements for discontinuous sampling of oilseeds, using the manual or automatic method, for the purpose of assessing their quality and condition.Most oilseeds are marketed on the basis of the result of analysis of the samples representing lots, and disputes are invariably settled by reference to these samples. Careless or inaccurate sampling practices could lead to misunderstandings, delays and unwarranted financial adjustments.Correct sampling is a difficult process and one that requires the most careful attention. Emphasis cannot therefore be too strongly laid on the necessity of obtaining a representative sample of oilseeds for analysis.
