Paints, varnishes and raw materials for paints and varnishes — Sampling
ISO 15528:2013 specifies procedures for the sampling of paints, varnishes and raw materials used in their manufacture. Such products include liquids and materials which, without undergoing chemical modification, are capable of being liquefied when heated up, and powdered, granulated and pasty materials. Samples may be taken from containers, e.g. cans, drums, tanks, tank wagons or ships' tanks, as well as from barrels, sacks, big-bags, silos or silo wagons, or from conveyor belts.
ISO 15528:2013 does not deal with the sample preparation for testing or reduction of the samples thus taken. This is dealt with in ISO 1513.
