Sampling6.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of rolls or pieces, as directed in a

In the absence ofsuch agreement, take one roll or piece from the lot to be tested.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other agreement
19、between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls or pieces of floor covering and between specimens from aroll or pieces of floor covering to provide a sampling plan with ameaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptable quality level, andlimiting q
20、uality level.6.2 Laboratory SampleFor acceptance testing, take asample from a roll approximately 1.5 yd (1.5 m) long extend-ing the width of the material from each roll or piece in the lot,unless otherwise specified in the specific test method. For rollsof floor covering, take a sample that will exc
