scope:

This standard specifies a method of obtaining, for test purposes, a gross sample representative of a certain lot of pulp. This standard applies to all kinds of pulp delivered in bales or rolls. It is recommended for use when sampling for all kinds of testing purposes except for the determination of saleable mass, in which case other standard should be applied, such as ISO 801-1 or ISO 801-2. If, however, the pulp is to be tested for saleablemass in addition to other properties, the gross sample obtained according to the appropriate standard for sampling saleable mass may also be used for the other pulp property tests.
