scope:

This Standard specifies methods for sampling adhesives and related products, in order to obtain uniform samples of convenient size and adequately representative of the product being sampled. The sample or samples so obtained are suitable for examination and preparation prior to testing. This method applies to products which may need addition and mixing of catalysts or hardeners prior to their application, by sampling each component separately. It does not include methods of sampling from a stream of adhesive (in this case the samples may be prepared in accordance with ISO 8213).
