Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

Oleaginous seeds and fruits and oilseed meals.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21294:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:

Introduction
Most oilseeds are marketed on the basis of the result of analysis of the samples representing lots, and
disputes are invariably settled by reference to these samples. Careless or inaccurate sampling practices
could lead to misunderstandings, delays and unwarranted financial adjustments.
Correct sampling is a difficult process and one that requires the most careful attention. Emphasis cannot
therefore be too strongly laid on the necessity of obtaining a representative sample of oilseeds for analysis.

Oilseeds — Manual sampling of oilseeds
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for manual sampling of oilseeds by manual means or by automated
mechanical means, for the purpose of assessing their quality and condition.
NOTE An example of “condition” is an odour due to a treatment product.
Stockpiles are excluded of the scope of this document.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content 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.
ISO 664, Oilseeds — Reduction of laboratory sample to test sample
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 https:// www .electropedia .org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
3.1
manual sampling
sampling by manual means or by automated mechanical means of at least one position within a lot (3.3).
EXAMPLE Hand-scoops, shovels, suitable sampling buckets, automatic suction probes, automatic samplers
(sequenced).
3.2
consignment
quantity of oilseeds dispatched or received at one time and covered by a particular contract or shipping
document
Note 1 to entry: The consignment can be composed of one or more lots or part of a lot.
3.3
lot
stated quantity of the consignment (3.2) which can be sampled in order to determine its quality and condition
Note 1 to entry: The quantity of the lot can be of a mass up to 5 000 t.
3.4
increment sample
quantity of material taken at one time at each individual sampling point (at each individual sampling time
for moving lot) throughout a lot (3.3)

ISO/DIS 21294:2026(en)
3.5
Composite sample
bulk sample
quantity of material representative of the consignment (3.2) or of the lot (3.3) obtained by combining
and blending the increments samples (3.4) of the same size taken from the lot (3.3) of oilseeds during its
transference.
3.6
Bulk
Product distributed in a large unpackaged quantity
Note 1 to entry: “bulk sample” is different of “bulk”.
3.7
homogenization
thorough blending by mechanical or manual means so that any contaminants or foreign materials are
thoroughly distributed throughout the bulk sample or laboratory sample (3.8)
3.8
laboratory sample
representative quantity of oilseeds obtained by unbiased reduction of a composite sample (3.5) using
appropriate methods to obtain a desired quantity intended for laboratory analysis. Analytical data from the
collected samples should be representative of the lot (3.3) as a whole.
4 Principles
4.1 Representative samples
The laboratory samples shall be as representative as possible of the lots from which they are taken. Each
consignment shall be divided, actually or notionally, into lots of 500 t to 5 000 t according to its size. At
least a minimum number of increments sample shall be taken from each lot and homogenized carefully in
order to obtain a composite sample from which laboratory samples may be taken by successive division. A
laboratory sample shall result from the sampling of each lot (see Table 1).
A diagram showing the different steps for laboratory samples is given in Annex A.
4.2 Oilseeds sampling
This document covers both the manual sampling of oilseeds in motion while being transferred and the
manual sampling and automated non-systematic mechanical sampling of static lots. Samples shall be taken
using manual or automatic methods. Where possible, sampling should be performed when the oilseeds are
flowing (e.g. during loading or unloading) so that the constituent parts of the lot have the same probability
of being sampled and comply with the minimum number and mass of in
