Size of sampled portion	Minimum number of incremental samples ^f1
It is acknowledged that in certain situations (e.g. silages) it is not possible to take the required incremental samples, without causing unacceptable damage to the lot. An alternative method of sampling may be applied in such situations and a guidance for sampling such lots will be elaborated before the entry into application of this Regulation.
Where the number obtained is a fraction, it shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
