23、a road marking material 3.2 intermediate bulk container (IBC) container used as an intermediate size between bags and tins and bulk transport. 4 Sampling procedures NOTE Clause 4 specifies the procedure for the selection of original product containers and for obtaining representative samples from a
24、stock for subsequent inspection and testing. 4.1 General 4.1.1 When a series of original product containers to be examined can be identified as being from a single batch, the number of containers to be selected for sampling shall be 1 %. Not less than two and not more than five containers shall be s
25、elected for sampling. BS EN 13459:2011EN 13459:2011 (E) 5 4.1.2 When a series of original product containers to be examined can be identified as being from different batches, the sampling shall be organized as follows. Determine the number of batches and refer to Table 1 to obtain the number of batc
26、hes to be selected for sampling. The number of original product containers to be selected for sampling from each batch for testing shall be 1 %. Not less than two and not more than five containers shall be selected for sampling for each batch. 4.1.3 When the consignment to be examined is not classif
27、ied as being from different batches, or when the batch information is not known, determine the number of containers and refer to Table 1 to obtain the number of containers to be selected for sampling. Table 1 Selection of batches or containers from a multi-batch stock Number of batches or containers
28、 in consignment (N) Number of batches or containers to be sampled (n) 2 to 8 2 9 to 18 3 19 to 32 4 33 to 50 5 51 to 72 6 73 to 98 7 99 to 128 8 129 to 162 9 163 to 200 10 and thereafter at a rate of 2=Nn NOTE Where the calculation of n does not yield an integer, the number shall be rounded up to th
29、e next whole number. The samples shall be labelled with the information required to accompany the sample as specified in Annex A. NOTE In order to avoid excessively large amounts of product being removed as samples it may be more appropriate to take representative samples on the storage site. When r
30、emoving reduced samples from containers, reference should be made to the amount required for testing (see 5.1). Containers of large capacity should be sampled on the storage site by skilled personnel. Samples removed for testing from original product containers shall be suitably packaged and stored
31、in conditions in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. 4.2 Paint A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Representative samples of paint shall be taken from each selected container i
32、n accordance with EN ISO 15528. 4.3 Thermoplastics 4.3.1 General NOTE Thermoplastic road marking material is usually supplied in powder form or in block form. In powder form the material can be packed in individual bags and then supplied stacked on a pallet with an outer wrapping. Alternatively the
33、material can be supplied in intermediate bulk containers (IBC). BS EN 13459:2011EN 13459:2011 (E) 6 An appropriate amount of additives and meltable packaging shall also be sampled for subsequent incorporation during the testing of the thermoplastic road marking. The selection of packages or containe
34、rs shall be as specified in 4.3.2 to 4.3.4 as appropriate for the form of the packaging. 4.3.2 Powder mix in bags A number (n) of full pallets, containing stacked bags, shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Remove three bags from each se
35、lected pallet ensuring that they are all from the same production batch. Either divide each bag separately using a suitable sample divider, having apertures of no more than 50 mm, to obtain three representative samples, each having a mass of approximately 4 kg, and combine the three samples. Or if a
36、ccording to the manufacturers recommendations such separate division is not possible, melt the three bags of material. Either divide the sample after cooling as described in 4.3.4, or take the sample directly from the melter. 4.3.3 Powder mix in IBC A number (n) of IBC shall be selected for sampling
37、, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Representative samples of thermoplastic material shall be taken from each selected IBC. Melt the material and remove samples from the melter to yield a combined sample of 12 kg. 4.3.4 Block material A number (n) of full pallets o
38、f block material shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Remove three blocks from each selected pallet, remove the packaging and break up the material from all three blocks. Discard any material which is not uniform in texture and colour,
39、including burnt material from the production process. Take a portion of not less than 4 kg from the centre of each of the three blocks and combine these portions in a clean container. Do not apply heat at any stage of the sampling procedure. 4.4 Cold plastics NOTE This procedure applies to any of th
40、e components of cold plastics, which can be in liquid form, in paste form, or in solid form. 4.4.1 Liquid or paste components A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Representative samples of eac
41、h component shall be taken from each selected container in accordance with EN ISO 15528. The correct proportion of each component shall be maintained when taking the samples. 4.4.2 Powder (solid) component A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from th
42、e consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. BS EN 13459:2011EN 13459:2011 (E) 7 Representative samples of each component shall be taken from each container in accordance with EN ISO 15528. Glass beads or aggregates, shall be sampled in accordance with EN 1423. All solid components should be h
43、andled with care, following the instructions of the manufacturer. The correct proportion of each component shall be maintained when taking the samples. 4.5 Retroreflecting road studs NOTE This procedure applies to retroreflecting road studs and to retroreflecting inserts for road studs, and assumes
44、that the road studs are stored in original product containers. A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Representative samples shall be taken by removing a minimum of three pieces from each select
45、ed container. If the road stud is to be installed using a primer and/or an adhesive, then a sample of this material shall be taken in accordance with 4.2 for one-component products, 4.3.4 for hot-melted adhesives, or 4.4 for two-component products. 4.6 Preformed road markings NOTE Preformed road mar
46、kings are typically supplied in rolls or in packages containing a number of preformed sheets of the material. A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Smaller representative samples of preformed r
47、oad marking shall be taken from each selected container in order to carry out all the tests required in accordance with EN 1790. If a preformed road marking material is to be installed using a primer and/or an adhesive then a sample shall be taken in accordance with 4.2. 4.7 Drop on materials and pr
48、emix glass beads A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. Representative samples of drop-on materials and premix glass beads shall be taken from each selected container in accordance with EN 1423
49、and EN 1424 respectively. NOTE Only containers without damage or deterioration of the packaging which could directly affect the quality of the sample, should be selected for sampling. 5 Testing of samples 5.1 Minimum sample quantities Table 2 gives the minimum sample quantities for conducting all of the tests specified in 5.2 and 5.3.
