test result.

B. SAMPLING

1. SAMPLING METHOD

There are two (2) sampling methods, namely lottery and car

methods. Lottery method is used to select samples from the

population which is in packed form, while car method is used

to select samples from the population which is in bulk form.

1.1. Lottery Method

1.1.1. Using Slips of Paper

51

1. If we have lot of items consisting 36 boxes and wish to

take 6 boxes as samples.

2. Prepare paper slips with a size equal to lot size. Give

numbers according to lot size (N), in this case 1 to 36.

3. Place the paper slips in a box.

4. Shake the box.

5. Take a paper slip and write down the number on the slip.

6. Put the slip back to into the box, shake the box again, and

repeat this procedure until there are 6 different numbers

selected.

This method is called random as each number has an equal

chance of being selected, provided that after number picking,

the slips must be placed back into the box.

1.1.2. Using Random Table

1. If the lot size is equal to 300 boxes and 20 boxes are

taken as samples.

2. Each pack or unit shall be given sequence number, for

example 1, 2, 3, etc. …300.

52

3. As number of packs consists of 3 digits (200), a random

number is required consisting of a sequence of 3 random

numbers and 3 random columns selected, for each pack to be

taken as samples.

4. To determine starting point, point randomly (for example by

a pencil) a number on the first page of the random table

(Table 6), in this case for example pointing at line 48 column

10. On line 48, write down 4 numbers starting from column 10

to the right (columns 10, 11, 12, 13), namely 3203. The first

two numbers for line number and the following two numbers for

column number of starting point. As starting point, line 32

and column 3 are selected.

5. Write down 3 numbers each starting from the starting point

to the right direction until 20 pairs of numbers are obtained.

Number 592 is obtained, and it is greater than 300 so it is

not used. And, numbers which are not greater than 300 are:

126, 236, 163, 189, 278. As there are only 2 numbers left,

reading is continued to the next line (line 33) and to make it

easy, take the left direction, numbers 70, 210, etc until 20

different pairs of numbers are obtained. Units whose numbers

are picked are selected as samples.

I.2. Car Method

53

Random sampling can also be performed on bulk products in form

of grains which are commonly carried in container or in ship’s

hold and shall be collected by using a special device. Car

sampling method diagram can be seen in Figure 1.

Samples taken from a car shall consist of at least 5 probes

taken from the following points:

a. Middle point of a ship’s hold.

b. 1 – 1.5 cm from rear door/wall of the ship’s hold and 0.5

to the inside of one of the ship’s hold side.

c. 1 – 1.5 m from the same point of the ship’s hold, but 0.5 m

from the opposite side, such as in collection of samples

(2) and (5) such as in collection of samples (2) and (3),

but from opposite point and side of ship’s hold.

0.5 m from side 0.5 m from side

O O 1 – 1.5m from rear point

Door O

1 – 1.5 m from door O O

0.5 m from side 0.5 m from side

Figure 1. Car sampling diagram

This method can also be applied on packed products, if

sampling is performed directly in the car, commonly in the

port or on inter-country border.

54

2. PSAT SAMPLING PROCEDURE

2.1.Preparation of Sampling Kits and Equipment

Sampling kits and equipment required for sample collection

that shall be prepared consist of:

- sampling kits (for example, gloves, shovel, double-headed

spear, single-headed spear, vacuum, etc.)

- sample containers (for example, plastic bags, aluminum foil

bags)

- shipping tools (refrigerated containers, frozen containers)

- identification kits (for example, label, marker pen,

ballpoint pen, glue)

2.2. Sampling Procedure

PSAT package is divided into 3 (three) types, namely bulk

package, large package (sack/large container), and small

package (commonly of less than 5 kg per primary package).

Sampling system for the three package types is different.

Total samples for each type of package are as specified in

Table 1.

2.2.1. Bulk Package Sampling

55

Sampling of PSAT whose package is in form of bulk shall be in

accordance with the procedure based on SNI’s Solid Sampling.

And, sampling points shall be determined based on random

sampling car method. Sampling procedure is as follows:

1. Collect samples from a car consisting of at least 5 (five)

probes.

2. From On each point, at least 1 kg or 5 units are taken.

3. All samples are mixed and collected according to Table 1.

4. Separate samples for each different test by special

handling, depending on the type of test to be performed.

2.2.2. Large Package Sampling

Sampling of PSAT with large package shall be in accordance

with the procedure based on SNI’s Solid Sampling. Sampling

points (containers to be used as samples) shall be determined

based on random sampling, whether lottery method by using

paper slips or Random Table (Table 6).

2.2.3. Small Package Sampling

2.2.3.1. Product without Secondary Package

Sampling procedure to determine status of acceptance or

rejection commonly refers to Codex AQL 65. If Codex procedure

is adopted it becomes very expensive as all samples must be

56

tested one by one to determine status of acceptance or

rejection. But, if test could be done fastly, Codex AQL 6.5

method can be fully implemented.

Sampling procedure shall be in accordance with Codex (Table 5.

Sampling Plan I). Sampling point shall be determined based on

Car Method. For example, there is a lot with total packages of

6,000 units, each package has a weight of 3 kg. So, the

sampling procedure is as follows:

1. Take 13 packages (see Table 5) from position in accordance

with Car Method.

2. Open the packages, take at least 1 kg (at least 5 units)

from each package.

3. All samples shall be mixed and collected in accordance with

Table 1.

4. Separate samples for each different test type by special

handling, depending on the test type to be performed.

5. Unused samples shall be returned.

2.2.3.2. Product with Secondary Package

Sampling procedure is a combination of SNI’s Solid Sampling

and Codex AQL 65. For example, there is a lot with total

secondary packages of 300 containers. Each container contains

57

20 primary packages (total primary package is 6000 units),

each package has a weight of 3 kg.

Based on SNI (see Table 3 and 4), total primary samples that

must be collected are 200 packages from 20 containers (10

primary packages are taken from each container). While, in

accordance with Codex AQL 65, total samples that must be

collected are 13 units. So, the sampling procedure is as

follows:

1. Pick 20 containers by Random Method.

2. Open the containers and take 10 packages from each

container.

3. 200 packages are mixed and 13 packages are picked by Random

Method.

4. Take 1 kg (at least 5 units) from each package.

5. All samples shall be mixed and collected in accordance with

Table 1.

6. Separate samples for each different test type by special

handling, depending on the test type to be performed.

7. Unused samples shall be returned.

2.3. Sample Identification

58

1. Attach label to sample container after samples have been

taken. Stick label properly to prevent it from detaching

during handling or transportation.

2. Number each sample container or write down code of samples

on the label. The code is intended so that sample identity is

unknown by the test laboratory. The code on the label shall be

similar to the one on the report.

3. If sample unit is taken from large package such as

cardboard box, write down cardboard box identity on the sample

label to give a chance for re-test of the sample concerned.

4. Label could be in the form of sticky paper or other

material whose content is unalterable without damaging it.

Write down label identity with date, sample number, and person

collecting the sample. If more than one sample are expected,

each unit of samples shall be treated equally.

2.4. Reporting

After collection and shipment of samples, a sampling report

shall be made by using Form 1.
