Back to Background information main pageList of EN and ISO Standards in Sampling:ISO Standards & European Norms are provided for reference where they apply to sampling. However, note that sampling for trade and technical purposes may be more thorough or complex than is required for Customs and Tax purposes.The list of standards on sampling or sampling related matters listed in the tables below is not exhaustive. You may apply other national standards when more relevant in specific cases.The list is divided into three groups.
