This European Standard does not cover the operational performance or fitness for use of the materials
which are deemed to be a function of agreements between the manufacturer and the customer.
This European Standard does not purport to address all the safety concerns, if any, associated with its
use. This European Standard does not establish appropriate safety and health practices and does not

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
sample
amount of material taken from a population and intended to provide information on the population
3.2
increment
portion of material extracted in a single operation of the sampling device
[SOURCE: ISO 13909-1:2016, 3.15: modified – "fuel" has been replaced with "material"]
3.3
characteristic
property which helps to identify or differentiate items of a given population
Note 1 to entry: The characteristic may be either quantitative (by variables) or qualitative (by attributes).
3.4
lot
defined quantity of material for which a characteristic is to be determined
5

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST-TS CEN/TS 17308:2019
CEN/TS 17308:2019 (E)
Note 1 to entry: In sampling standards, the lot is also designated as the stated size or volume that is considered
appropriate for assessing the material. It follows that variations occurring in the material on any finer scale than
this are deemed not to be of relevance.
3.5
combined sample
sample consisting of all the increments taken from a lot
Note 1 to entry: A combined sample is a quantity of material, representative of the lot for which the quality is to
be determined.
3.6
field sample
sample taken in the field and from which laboratory samples are produced
3.7
laboratory sample
sample or sub-sample sent to or received by the laboratory
[SOURCE: IUPAC definition]
Note 1 to entry: When the laboratory sample has been prepared (reduced) by subdivision, mixing, or crushing,
or by a combination of these processes, it becomes the test sample. A laboratory sample that requires no
preparation can be used directly as the test sample. A test portion is removed from the test sample for testing or
analysis purposes. The laboratory sample is the final sample from the point of view of sample collection, but it is
the initial sample from the point of view of the laboratory.
Note 2 to entry: Several laboratory samples can be prepared and sent to different laboratories, or they can be
sent to the same laboratory for different purposes. In the latter case, they are generally considered to be a single
laboratory sample and documented as such.
3.8
test sample
sample prepared from the laboratory sample, from which the test portions are removed for testing or
for analysis
[SOURCE: IUPAC definition]
3.9
population
totality of items, or total volume of material, to be investigated by sampling
Note 1 to entry: The population will generally be a convenient, well-defined subset of the overall population
(e.g. a year's production of material) that is believed to be typical of that wider population.
3.10
representative sample
sample resulting from a sampling plan that can be expected to reflect adequately the properties of
interest in the parent population
[SOURCE: IUPAC definition]
3.11
probabilistic sampling
sampling conducted according to the statistical principles of sampling

steel wire
result of processing end-of-life tyres by which steel wires are separated from textile and rubber
fractions
4 Testing programme
When performing a testing programme for determining product characteristics, all the different
measurement/testing steps are to be considered and specified by means of standards dealing each with
one or several of those steps, thus securing the needed coherence and coordination between these
different testing steps. The steps are:
a) sampling plan;
b) taking field sample(s);
c) storage of the sample(s), transport;
d) pre-treatment, e.g. drying (if needed);
e) quantification, analysis, calculations;
f) overall test report.
When undertaking some or all of these measurement steps, a testing laboratory shall operate with
appropriate equipment and competent personnel so as to fulfill the applicable requirements specified in
the present European Standard. This includes calibration of equipment, e.g. calibration of scales.
5 Determination of non-metallic content in steel wire
5.1 General
Percentage of non-metallic content is a key measurement required for product classification of steel
wire. Before being able to obtain an accurate value, a representative sample of the material to be tested
shall be taken.
5.2 Preparation of sampling plan and laboratory sample
5.2.1 Principle of correct sampling
The main principle of sampling is to obtain a representative sample(s) from a lot of material from which
a characteristic is to be determined. If the lot is to be represented by a sample, then every particle in the
lot shall have an equal probability of being included in the sample (i.e. probabilistic sampling). These
principles cannot be fully applied in practice with st

NOTE The objective of this procedure is to take samples in a way that is truly representative of the material
produced. It is easier when the material is moving (for example on a conveyor belt). Therefore, sampling from
moving material will be preferred whenever possible.
