This International Standard specifies a method of obtaining a representative Sample of empty Sacks for testing. This International Standard is applicable when sampling in Order to assess the average quality of a consignment of empty Sacks. The method is not suited to sampling for production control. The method applies to all types of empty Sacks. NOTE - It should be noted that the Sample is representative only of those Sacks available for sampling. Considerable caution should be exercised when extrapolating the results from such sampling to a larger consignment.
