  "text": "For lots of cereals and cereal products less than 50 tonnes, the sampling plan shall be used with 10 to 100 incremental samples, depending on the lot weight, resulting in an aggregate sample of 1 to 10 kg. For very small lots (≤ 0,5 tonnes) a lower number of incremental samples may be taken, but the aggregate sample combining all incremental samples shall be also in that case at least 1 kg.\nThe figures in Table 2 may be used to determine the number of incremental samples to be taken.\nTable 2\nNumber of incremental samples to be taken depending on the weight of the lot of cereals and cereal products\nLot weight (tonnes)\nNumber of incremental samples\nAggregate sample weight(kg)\n≤ 0,05\n3\n1\n> 0,05-≤ 0,5\n5\n1\n> 0,5-≤ 1\n10\n1\n> 1-≤ 3\n20\n2\n> 3-≤ 10\n40\n4\n> 10-≤ 20\n60\n6\n> 20-≤ 50\n100\n10",
