# Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 of 27 January 2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed (Text with EEA relevance), Division 3.2: Specific procedure in case of examination by visual inspection or by microscopy or in cases where the whole aggregate sample is homogenised

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

In case of an examination by visual inspection (without making use of microscope), the whole laboratory sample is used for examination.
In case of a microscopic examination, the laboratory may reduce the aggregate sample, or further reduce the reduced sample. The final samples for defence and eventually reference purposes are taken following a procedure equivalent to the procedure followed for the final sample for enforcement.
In case the whole aggregate sample is homogenized, the final samples are taken from the homogenized aggregate sample.
