Prodotti alimentari liquidi ad alta viscosità
Definizione

(lista di codici SA indicati in questa scheda)
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. I prodotti appena menzionati possono essere considerati anche a bassa viscosità, in funzione delle loro caratteristiche precise e/o della temperatura.

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

For frozen products see chapter "‘Sampling procedures".

Attrezzatura necessaria
Strumento di campionamento consigliato in funzione del metodo utilizzato Copper and copper alloys (e.g. brass) must not be used.

Contenitori da usare per il campionamento
  • Bottiglie di vetro (G01)
  • Contenitori di metallo (M01)
  • Bottiglie di plastica a bocca larga, formato 500-1 000 ml (P03, P04), preferibilmente non trasparenti.
Tutti i contenitori devono essere adatti ad essere utilizzati a contatto con gli alimenti, ivi compresi i prodotti ad alta acidità.

Precauzioni di sicurezza e valutazione del rischio
  • 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.

Piano di campionamento
Tipo di spedizione Procedura
Spedizioni da sdoganare 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.
Spedizioni da sottoporre a controlli nell'ambito della PAC (restituzioni all'esportazione) o per l'applicazione delle accise Costituire un campione aggregato formato da un numero appropriato di incrementi. Il numero minimo di incrementi è indicato più avanti. Se la spedizione è costituita da merci aventi origine da un'unica linea di produzione (numero di lotto identico), si può prelevare un numero inferiore di campioni.
Vertical land tanks, Horizontal land tanks, ship-, wagon- or car-tanks 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.

Manipolazione dei campioni
Osservazioni generali
  • Se il prodotto è trasportato sfuso, il carico deve essere considerato nel suo insieme e i campioni devono essere prelevati da tutte le zone del carico.
  • Non riscaldare i campioni.
  • 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.
Modulo di campionamento
  • Compilare il modulo di campionamento. Allegare una copia ai campioni e conservare una copia per l'archivio.
Trasporto
  • The samples must be protected against light and odour to prevent contamination, microbiological growth or other situations which would damage the sample.
  • Se necessario tenere i campioni refrigerati. Mantenere e registrare la catena del freddo.
Conservazione
  • 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.
