Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The product shall be thoroughly mixed by plunging or stirring, or by mechanical agitation, or by pouring from one container to another, or by the use of clean compressed air (see note 2.2), until sufficient homogeneity is obtained.
Take the sample immediately after mixing by means of a dipper.
