The number of packing units in the consignment of which separate random samples are to be taken must be as follows:
| Consignment (number of packing units) | Number of packing units to be sampled |
|---|---|
| 1-24 | Number equal to the number of packing units, with a maximum of 20 |
| 25-29 | 20 |
| 30-39 | 25 |
| 40-49 | 30 |
| 50-59 | 35 |
| 60-89 | 40 |
| 90-199 | 50 |
| 200-499 | 55 |
| 500 or more | 60 |
Depending on the weight of the packing units, the number of samples may be reduced by using the following multiplication factors:
| Weight of packing units | > 20 kg | 10-20 kg | < 10 kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiplication factors | × 1 | × 3/4 | × 1/2 |
