ISO 7002

Titled as "Agricultural food products -- Layout for a standard method of sampling from a lot", the document provides a rule-based guidance on drafting a sampling method of agricultural food products for intended users. Except for milk products which ISO 707:1997 covers, the typical examples of the standards regulated by this document are

* ISO 3100-1:1991 "Meat and meat products -- Sampling and preparation of test samples -- Part 1: Sampling"
* ISO 6670:2002 "Instant coffee -- Sampling method for bulk units with liners"
* ISO 13690:1999 "Cereals, pulses and milled products -- Sampling of static batches" (bulk grain with a depth of 3 m)
* ISO 6644:2002 "Flowing cereals and milled cereal products -- Automatic sampling by mechanical means" (bulk grain with a depth between 3-12 m)

The process of sampling is an important factor that determines a final result of an analyte, and therefore ISO 17025 uses it as one of the criteria for laboratory accreditation cite web
