scope:

This European Standard specifies a method of obtaining a representative sample from a lot (considered to be any significant shipment - see Clause 3) of PfR for testing to determine whether or not its composition and/or quality complies with the requirements of EN 643 and or other specifications. It defines the sampling procedures which apply when sampling is carried out to resolve compliance issues and commercial disputes between buyer and seller relating to a lot of paper for recycling, at any point in the value chain, where those procedures are not defined in the contract between buyer and seller. - This standard is not intended for routine monitoring of processes or quality. - This standard is not applicable if the material is not intended for recycling. - The method is unsuitable for determining the variability within a lot.
