GENERAL (i) Where the weight of the whole quantity does not exceed 2 cwt., or the whole quantity is in one container, the sample may consist of such a portion of the quantity as is fairly representative of the whole, and the sample shall be of nor less than 1 ½ lb in weight. (ii) Except as provided in paragraph (i). in the case of articles in packages, only unopened packages shall be selected for the purpose of the sample. (iii) Samples shall not be drawn from part of any quantity which part bears the appearance of having received damage in transit or after delivery. (iv) Notwithstanding anything in these Regulations, a sampling spear shall not be used in the case of a sample drawn by an inspector if objection is raised thereto, prior to the taking of the sample, on the grounds that the material is unsuitable. (v) (a) In each case it shall be assumed that the quantity is composed of separate approximately equal parts and that the number of such parts is equivalent to (1) the number of packages to be selected in accord ance with paragraph (vii) (a); or (2) the number of portions to be taken in accord ance with paragraph (vii) (b) where the quantity is in bulk. (b) The packages or portions selected shall be drawn from different positions in each part. (vi) In every case the sampling shall be done as quickly as is possible consistently with due care and the material shall not be exposed any longer than is absolutely necessary. B. IN THE CASE OF A FERTILIZER (vii) If the fertilizer is in a state of fine division (a) In Packages-When the fertilizer is in packages and the quantity exceeds 2 cwt., a number of packages shall be selected as follows, viz.

The sample shall be drawn by one of the following methods (1) The selected packages shall be emptied separately on a clean dry surface and worked up with a spade and one spadeful taken from each. The spadefuls so taken shall then be thoroughly mixed together and any lumps broken up. From this mixtlllfe a sample from about 2:lt, to 4:lt, in weight shall be drawn. (2) As an alternative method. when the material is of a suitable nature. a portion shall be taken from each selected package by means of a suitable sampling speair, The separate portions thus taken from the selected packages shall be thoroughly mixed together and a sample from 2:lt, to 4:lt, in weight shall be drawn from the mixture. {The inclusion of this page is authorized by L.N. 4/ 1976) s 6 THE FERTILIZERS AND FEEDING STUFFS REGULATIONS, 1945 (b) In Bulk-Where the fertilizer is in bulk, a number of portions shall be taken by a spade or spear as follows Portions Where the quantity exceeds 2 cwt. and does not exceed 1 ton 4 Where the quantity exceeds 1 ton and does not exceed 2 tons 6 Where the quantity exceeds 2 tons and does not exceed 5 tons IO Where the quantity exceeds 5 tons and does not exceed IO tons 15 Where the quantity exceeds IO tons and does not exceed 25 tons 25 Where the quantity exceeds 25 tons and does not exceed 50 tons 40 Where the quantity exceeds 50 tons and does not exceed 100 tons 60 Where the quantity exceeds 100 tons for each additional 10 tons or part thereof 2 If the portions are taken by a spade, the spadefuls shall be tireated and the sample drawn in the manner prescribed in paragraph (vii) (a) (1). H the portions are taken by a spear, the portions shall be treated and the sample drawn in the manner prescribed in paragraph (vii) (a) (2). (viii) If the fertiliur is in a coarse or lump condition, as in the case of caustic or burnt lime, not ground, the sample shall be drawn as follows (a) In Packages-The packages shall be selected according to the appropriate scale in paragraph (vii) (a) and treated as described in paragraph (vii) (a) (1). The spadefuls removed shall be crushed immediately and the whole passed through a sieve with meshes one and a quarter inch· square. It shall be mixed thoroughly and rapidly and a sample of 41b to 6tb in weight drawn from the mixture. (b) In Bulk-Spadefuls shall be taken according to the appropriate scale prescribed in paragraph (vii) (b). The spadefuls thus taken shall be treated, and a sample shall be drawn, in the manner prescribed in paragraph (viii) (a). (Tho inclusion of this page is authorized by L.N. 4/ 19761 ) THE FERTILIZERS AND FEEDING STUFFS REGULATIONS, 1945 (ix) When the fertilizer consists of bulky material, uneven in character and likely to get matted together, such as shoddy, wool refuse, hair, etc. (a) In Packages-Packages shall be selected according to the appropriate scale given in paragraph (vii) (a) and the selected packages shall be emptied separately on a clean dry surface and the matted portions torn up. One spadeful shall be taken from each and the spadefuls shall be thoroughly mixed together. The sample shall be drawn from the mixture and shall be from 2tb to 4tb. in weight. If the material separates into a fibrous part and a powdery part, the sample drawn shall consist of these two kinds in approximately their relative proportions as they exist in the fertilizer. (b) In Bulk-Spadefuls shall be taken according to the appropriate scale prescribed in paragraph (vii) (b). The spadefuls thus taken shall be treated. and a sample shall be drawn, in the manner prescribed in paragraph (ix) (a). (x) Where the fertilizer consists of materials such as caustic lime or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) which are liable to undergo change on exposure to ailr and moisture, or where the fertilizer consists of materials such as calcium nitrate, or ammonium nitrate, which are liable to absorb moisture, or where the material is sulphate of ammonia, the sampling shall be carnied out in a dry place and the sample divided into parts and- packed immediately. (xi) Where stones are naturally present in a fertilizer, they shall. if possible, be broken up and mixed with the quantity from which a sample is to be drawn. If they cannot be broken, the weight of the mixture from which a sample is to be drawn and the weight of the stones shall be ascertained and ll"eported to the analyst. C. IN THE CASE OF A FEEDING STUFF (xii) When the feeding stuff is in the state of small lumps or meal, it shall be sampled in the manner prescribed in paragraph (vii) (a) or (vii) (b). (xiii) When the feeding stuff is in the state of cake, in bags or in bulk, a number of cakes shall be selected from the different parts of the whole quantity as follows [lbe inclusion of this page is authorized by L.N. 4/ 1976] 7 8 THE FERTILIZERS AND FEEDING STUFFS REGULATIONS, 1945 Cakes Where the quantity exceeds 2 cwt. and does not exceed 2 tons 5 Where the quantity exceeds 2 tons and does not exceed 5 tons 10 Where the quantity exceeds 5 tons and does not exceed 50 tons 15 Where the quantity exceeds 50 tons and does not exceed 100 tons 25 Whore the quantity exceeds 100 tons for each additional 20 tons or part thereof 2 The selected cakes shall be broken by a cake-breaker or in some other manner so that the whole shall pass through a sieve with meshes one and a quarter inch square. The broken pieces shall then be thoroughly mixed, and from the mixture sample of not less than 6tb in weight shall be drawn. (xiv) When the feeding stuff is in a fluid or semi-fluid condition, packages shall be taken in accordance with the appropriate scale shown in paragraph (vii) (a), the contents well mixed by stirring or shaking, and a similar portion taken from each. These portions shall then be mixed together, in a clean dcy vessel, and from the mixture a sample of from 2tb to 4tb in weight shall be drawn. (xv) Where any appreciable portion of the feeding stuff appears to be mouldy, or is otherwise apparently unsuitable for feeding purposes, separate samples shall be drawn of the unsuitable portion and of the residue of the feeding stuff respectively and in the case of unsuitable cakes, the sample may consist of several large pieces representative thereof. D. DIVISION OF SAMPLE (xvi) Where a sample has been taken with a view to the institu tion of any civil or criminal proceedings, the person taking the sample shall divide it into three parts, as nearly as possible equal, in the following manner (a) In the case of dry or powdered substances, the sample drawn as prescribed in the foregoing paragraphs, shall be thoroughly mixed on heavy glazed paper or oilcloth [The inclusion of this page is authorized by L.N. 4/ 1976) '\ ) THE FERTILIZERS AND FEEDING STUFFS REGULATIONS, 1945 and divided into three similar and approximately equal portions. Each such portion shall be placed in a separate tin or bottle of a kind described in paragraph (xvii), and shall constitute a part of the sample. (b) In the case of substances in a fluid or semi-fluid condition, the sample drawn as prescribed in the fore going paragraphs, shall be thoroughly mixed and at once divided into similar and approximately equal parts by pouring successive portions into each of three bottles. (xvii) Each of the parts into which the sample is divided shall be packed in a clean dry bottle with air-tight stopper or lid, or (except in the case of a fertilizer) a clean dry tin with close-fitting lid (such as a lever lid), so that the original composition of the fertilizer or feeding stuff may be preserved. In the case of caustic lime, slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and other substances likely to undergo change if not kept in an air-tight receptacle, the bottle used shall have a ground-in stopper, or be provided with a metal cap with inner pad. Each of the said parts shall be so secured and sealed that the bottle or tin containing it cannot be opened without breaking the seal; or, alternative ly, the bottle or tin containing the part may be placed in a stout envelope or in a linen or cotton bag, and the envelope or bag then secured and sealed in such a manner that the part of the sample cannot be removed without breaking the seal or the envelope or the bag. (xviii) Each of the said parts shall be sealed and initialled by the person taking the sample. It may also be sealed 01 initialled by the person on whose premises the sample is taken, or his representative. Each part shall be marked with the name of the article, any mark applied to the article in compliance with the Act, the date and place of the sampling and with some distinguishing number, in such a manner that the particulars so marked can be seen without breaking the seal or seals.
