Conditions of, and requirements for, sampling are specified separately for feeding stuffs of different physical natures. For certain categories of animal feeding stuff, specific methods of sampling are specified in other International Standards. A list of these can be found in the bibliography. When sampling the products specified, it is these methods which shall be used. Methods of sampling for the determination of substances likely to be non-uniformly distributed are described in Annex A.
