ISO 5538:2004 PDF

Scope: 1 This International Standard specifies sampling plans for the inspection by attributes of milk and milk products. It is intended to be used to choose a sample size for any situation where it is required to measure the conformity to a specification of a lot of a dairy product by examination of a representative sample. 2 This International Standard is applicable to the sampling of all milk products submitted in discrete lots, irrespective of whether the lots are from the same production. The acceptance or otherwise of any lot is a matter for the parties to a contract and is outside the scope of this International Standard. 3 This International Standard is intended to be used in all cases where attribute sampling plans are required for a dairy product, except that if specific compositional standards, specifications or contracts include different sampling schemes, those schemes are to be used. 4 This International Standard is not applicable to sampling for microbiological defects, unless otherwise agreed by the interested parties. NOTE Methods of sampling for milk and milk products are given in ISO 707.
