This European Standard specifies the correct sequence of operations to ensure the representativity of the testportions that have been taken according to the sampling plan, prior to physical and/or chemical analysis (e.g.extractions, digestion and/or analytical determinations) of solid samples.This European Standard specifies the correct sequence of operations and treatments to be applied to thelaboratory sample in order to obtain suitable test portions in compliance with the specific requirements definedin the corresponding analytical procedures.
