Definiciones

(lista de códigos SA cubiertos por esta ficha)
High-viscosity liquid foodstuffs in bulk, such as honey, tomato products, sauces, jam, corn and maple syrups, molasses, mustard, juices, fruit and vegetable concentrates; animal fats and high-viscosity vegetable oils, lard, margarine, cocoa butter, peanut butter, vegetable-shortening and similar products. Los productos anteriormente indicados también podrán ser considerados de baja viscosidad en función de su naturaleza concreta y/o de la temperatura.

This card also covers animal feed products, liquid, high viscosity.

Equipo necesario
La herramienta de muestreo recomendada dependerá del método de muestreo que se utilice
  • Cucharón para muestras (L04-01)
  • Tomamuestras con tubo de pistón (L05-01)
  • Pala de muestreo (S03-01)
  • Tomamuestras en espiral (S04-01)
  • Tomamuestras perforador manual (E02-01)
Copper and copper alloys (e.g. brass) must not be used.

Contenedores que deben emplearse para la toma de muestras
  • Botellas de vidrio (G01)
  • Envases de metal (M01)
  • Botellas de plástico de boca ancha, tamaño 500–1 000 ml (P03, P04), preferiblemente opacas.
Todos los envases deben ser adecuados para su uso con alimentos, incluidos los de acidez elevada.

Precauciones de seguridad y evaluación del riesgo
  • You should be aware of and follow any health and safety instructions in the local risk assessment and/or safe working practices for the location where the sampling is to take place.
  • Pay attention to any safety labels. If you have indications that there are dangerous goods, request the SDS or ADR.
  • See Health and Safety for the ‘Sampling of Food Products’ for detailed advice on hygiene and risks for liquid products.
  • The hygiene of food products must be maintained.
  • Ensure you have clean and appropriate PPE for the circumstances.

Plan de muestreo
Tipo de envío Procedimiento
Envíos para despacho de aduana One aggregate sample consists of an appropriate number of incremental samples chosen randomly or systematically throughout the consignment. When you are satisfied the consignment is homogeneous, one incremental sample is usually taken as representing the goods covered by the same customs declaration.
Envíos en el contexto de la PAC (restituciones a la exportación) o control de impuestos especiales La muestra agregada está formada por un número adecuado de muestras elementales. A continuación se describe el número mínimo de muestras elementales. Si el envío está compuesto por mercancías que tienen su origen en una única línea de producción (el número de lote es idéntico), se obtendrá un número reducido de muestras.
Cisternas terrestres verticales, cisternas terrestres horizontales, cisternas para barcos, trenes o camiones One aggregate sample from one or more incremental samples taken from different heights depending on the liquid level in the tank and number of tanks chosen randomly or systematically throughout the consignment, See sampling of liquids ‘1.1 Sampling from tanks and 1.2 Sampling from ships or barges‘ in the General part.

If the product is in the form of a creamy paste or hard paste, take at least five incremental samples (one in the middle plus four at midpoints between the centre and the apexes) in each lot.

Check the homogeneity of the lot — if the homogeneity is in doubt, take more incremental samples. More aggregate samples should be created from tanks if containing different products or lots.

Sample is usually taken from top openings through the hatch. Cross-sectional sampling can be also used.
Transport packages, barrels, drums, cases, tins One or more aggregate samples: from incremental samples (one or more depending on the product homogeneity, number of containers) drawn from the middle of each container chosen randomly or systematically throughout the consignment, see ‘1.3 Sampling from transport packages’ in the General part.

An aggregate sample may be formed only from containers from the same lot contained in the same consignment. If there are several lots, they should be identified and sampled separately.

If possible, properly homogenize the content of the container before sampling.
Food liquids being moved One aggregate sample: Where the product is being mechanically moved by gravity, pumps or other equipment, there may be diverter valves at the side of fuel line that allow samples to be drawn at regular intervals determined by the moving speed from the fuel stream, see ‘1.6 Sampling from moving cargo’ in the General part.

Manipulación de las muestras
Observaciones generales
  • Cuando el producto se transporte suelto a granel, la carga deberá considerarse en conjunto y deberán tomarse muestras de todas las partes de la carga.
  • No caliente las muestras.
  • If the product is in the form of a hard paste, use a borer to take incremental samples at various positions and depths, and prepare the aggregate sample in an appropriate bucket by breaking up and mixing the cores of product with the metal spatula and pack the samples in appropriate containers.
Formulario de muestreo
  • Cumplimente el formulario de muestreo. Deberá adjuntar una copia a las muestras y conservar otra para archivar.
Transporte
  • The samples must be protected against light and odour to prevent contamination, microbiological growth or other situations which would damage the sample.
  • Si es necesario, manténganse refrigeradas. Debe mantenerse y registrarse la cadena de frío.
Almacenamiento
  • Protect the samples from sources of contamination (odour, liquids, etc.) and contact with other substances.
  • For perishable goods:
    • Keep cooled or refrigerated below 4 °C. The temperature of the cooling chain should be recorded.
    • For longer storage freeze the samples at -18 °C or lower and monitor the temperature during storage.
