BS ISO 18400-201:2017 specifies methods for the pretreatment of samples that can be applied "in the field"
directly after sampling. Pretreatment methods in this document are limited to:sample division methods aimed at reducing the size/volume of the sample;the production of composite samples;the selection of a specific fraction of the sampled material.This documentdoes not apply to samples required for biological or microbiological examination,does not apply to soil materials sampled for the content of volatile components, andNOTE 1 These soil materials are intended to be sampled according to ISO 22155.does not give instructions for particle size reduction.NOTE 2 Guidance for particle size reduction is given in ISO 11464, ISO 14507 and ISO 23909.Cross References:ISO 565ISO 11074ISO 18400-101:2017ISO 18400-104ISO 18400-105ISO 18400-107ISO 22155DIN 19747ISO 3534-2:2006ISO 10381-6ISO 11464ISO 14507ISO 16720ISO 18400-100ISO 18400-102ISO 18400-103ISO 18400-106ISO 18400-202ISO 18400-203ISO 18400-204ISO 18400-205ISO 18400-206ISO 23909DIN 18123All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
