ISO/TR 29263 presents the description and the results of the three studies conducted by the United Kingdom, France and Germany related to grain sampling in order to define a harmonized sampling protocol for official controls.

Who is ISO/TR 29263 for?

ISO/TR 29263 on sampling studies of cereals and cereal products is relevant to:

• Laboratories
• Food technologists
• Agriculture research and development
• Food quality control and testing agencies
• Certification bodies
• Regulatory authorities

Why should you use ISO/TR 29263?

European directives for official controls of some contaminants such as mycotoxins required methods for sampling and analysis. In order to harmonize sampling procedures necessary for these analysis and to determine the best way to prepare a homogenous and representative laboratory sample, studies had been conducted by United Kingdom, France and Germany.

The results of these 3 studies are presented in ISO/TR 29263.
