L-oġġetti tal-ikel, likwidi, viskożità għolja
Id-Definizzjon

(lista ta’ kodiċijiet SA koperti minn din il-karta)
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. Il-komoditajiet imsemmija hawn fuq jistgħu jiġu kkunsidrati wkoll bħala li għandhom viskożità baxxa skont in-natura eżatta tagħhom u/jew it-temperatura tagħhom.

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

For frozen products see chapter ‘Sampling procedures’.

It-tagħmir meħtieġ
L-għodda ssuġġerita għat-teħid tal-kampjuni skont il-metodu użat
  • Sassla għat-teħid tal-kampjuni (L04-01)
  • Għodda għat-teħid tal-kampjuni bil-pistun (L05-01)
  • Kazzola għat-teħid tal-kampjuni (S03-01)
  • Għodda għat-teħid tal-kampjuni f’għamla ta’ trabuxù (S04-01)
  • Għodda għat-teħid ta’ kampjuni f’għamla ta’ trapan żgħir (E02-01)
Copper and copper alloys (e.g. brass) must not be used.

Il-kontenituri li għandhom jintużaw għat-teħid tal-kampjuni
  • Fliexken tal-ħġieġ (G01)
  • Kontenituri tal-metall (M01)
  • Fliexken tal-plastik, b’għonq wiesgħa, tad-daqs 500–1 000 ml (P03, P04), preferibbilment mhux trasparenti.
Il-kontenituri kollha għandhom ikunu adattati għall-ikel inklużi prodotti aċidużi ħafna.

Il-prekawzjonijiet ta’ sigurtà u l-valutazzjoni tar-riskju
  • 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.

It-tip ta’ kunsinna Proċedura
Kunsinni għall-approvazzjoni mid-dwana 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.
Kunsinni għall-PAK (rifużjonijiet ta’ esportazzjoni) jew il-kontroll tas-sisa Il-kampjun aggregat jikkonsisti f’numru xieraq ta’ kampjuni inkrementali. L-għadd minimu ta’ kampjuni inkrementali huwa deskritt hawn taħt. Jekk il-kunsinna tkun tikkonsisti f’oġġetti li jkunu ġejjin minn linja ta’ produzzjoni waħda (in-numru tal-lott ikun identiku) jistgħu jittieħdu inqas kampjuni.
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.

Immaniġġjar tal-kampjuni
Kummenti ġenerali
  • Meta l-prodott ikun ittrasportat mhux f’pakketti u f’massa, tit-tagħbija għandha titqies bħala ħaġa sħiħa u l-kampjuni għandhom jittieħdu minn kull parti tat-tagħbija.
  • Issaħħanx il-kampjuni.
  • 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.
Il-formola għat-teħid tal-kampjuni
  • Imla l-formola għat-teħid tal-kampjuni. Kopja għandha tkun mehmuża mal-kampjuni u oħra għandha tinżamm fir-reġistri.
It-trasport
  • The samples must be protected against light and odour to prevent contamination, microbiological growth or other situations which would damage the sample.
  • Jekk ikun meħtieġ żommhom imkessħin. Il-katina ta’ tkessiħ għandha tinżamm u għandha tkun irreġistrata.
Il-ħażna
  • 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.
