Definitions

Terms used in this standard have the following definitions:

  • Consignment: The quantity of product despatched or received at one time and covered by a particular contract or shipping document.
  • Lot: A stated portion of the consignment assumed to be of uniform characteristics which will allow the quality and condition to be assessed.
  • Primary sample: A small quantity of product taken from a single position in the lot. A series of primary samples is drawn from different parts of the lot which when bulked will be representative of the lot.
  • Bulk sample: The quantity of product formed by combining and mixing the primary samples drawn from any one particular lot.
  • Final lot sample: A sample representing the quality and condition of the lot, obtained by reduction of the bulk sample and intended for analysis or other examination.
  • Laboratory sample: A small quantity obtained by careful sub-division of the final lot-sample on which analyses will be performed by processes which are described in the relevant methods of analysis.
