25、al 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 stock for subsequent
26、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 selected for sampling.
27、 DIN EN 13459:2011-12 EN 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 batches to be select
28、ed 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 classified as being fro
29、m 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 in consignment
30、(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 the next whole num
31、ber. 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 removing reduced
32、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 in conditions in
33、 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 in accordance wit
34、h 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 material can be
35、supplied in intermediate bulk containers (IBC). DIN EN 13459:2011-12 EN 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 containers shall be
36、 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 selected pall
37、et 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 according to
38、 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, at random
39、, 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 of block mat
40、erial 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, including b
41、urnt 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 the component
42、s 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 each component
43、 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 the consignme
44、nt or stock (N) in accordance with 4.1. DIN EN 13459:2011-12 EN 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 handled
45、 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 that t
46、he 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 selected con
47、tainer. 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 markings
48、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 road ma
49、rking 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 premix 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
