Paints, varnishes and raw materials for paints and varnishes - Sampling (ISO 15528:2020)

This document specifies procedures for the sampling of paints and varnishes, including coating powders, and raw materials used in their manufacture. Such products include liquids and materials which, without undergoing chemical modification, are capable of being liquefied when heated up, and powdered, granulated and pasty materials. Samples can be taken from containers, for example cans, drums, tanks, tank wagons or ships' tanks, as well as from barrels, sacks, big-bags, silos or silo wagons or conveyor belts.
This document does not deal with the sample preparation for testing or reduction of the samples thus taken, which is dealt with in ISO 1513.

Beschichtungsstoffe und Rohstoffe für Beschichtungsstoffe - Probenahme (ISO 15528:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zur Probenahme von Beschichtungsstoffen einschließlich Pulverlacken und Rohstoffen, die zu ihrer Herstellung verwendet werden, fest. Eingeschlossen sind Flüssigkeiten und solche Produkte, die sich beim Erhitzen verflüssigen, ohne sich chemisch zu verändern, sowie pulverisierte, granulierte und pastenförmige Produkte. Proben können aus Behältern, z. B. Dosen, Trommeln, Tanks, Kesselwagen oder Schiffskammern sowie Fässern, Säcken, Big Bags, Silos oder Silofahrzeugen oder von Förderbändern genommen werden.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Probenvorbereitung und Einengung von auf diese Weise erhaltenen Proben, die in ISO 1513 behandelt werden.

Peintures, vernis et matières premières pour peintures et vernis - Échantillonnage (ISO 15528:2020)

Le présent document spécifie des modes opératoires pour l'échantillonnage des peintures et des vernis, y compris des poudres pour revêtement, et des matières premières pour peintures, vernis et poudres pour revêtement utilisés dans leur fabrication. Ces produits comprennent les produits liquides et les produits qui, sans subir de modification chimique, peuvent se liquéfier lorsqu'ils sont chauffés, ainsi que les produits sous forme de poudre, de granulés ou de pâte. Les échantillons peuvent être prélevés dans des récipients comme par exemple des bidons, des fûts, des réservoirs, des wagons-citernes ou des réservoirs de navire, ainsi que dans des tonneaux, des sacs, des grands sacs, des silos ou des wagons silos, ou sur des bandes transporteuses.
Le présent document ne traite pas de la préparation des échantillons pour essais ou de la réduction des échantillons ainsi prélevés, qui est traitée dans l'ISO 1513.

Overview

EN ISO 15528:2020 (ISO 15528:2020) specifies standardized procedures for the sampling of paints, varnishes, coating powders and raw materials used in their manufacture. Published by CEN/ISO in 2020, this European/International standard covers sampling from a wide range of product forms - liquids, materials that can be liquefied by heating, powders, granules and pastes - and from typical containers such as cans, drums, tanks, tank wagons, ships' tanks, barrels, sacks, big‑bags, silos and conveyor belts. EN ISO 15528:2020 focuses on correct sampling operations; it does not cover subsequent sample preparation or size reduction for testing (see ISO 1513).

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard addresses essential sampling principles and equipment, including:

• Terms and definitions used in sampling (batch, lot, individual/representative/average sample, top/middle/bottom/all‑layer, composite, continuous/intermittent samples, storage sample).
• General requirements (qualified personnel, cleanliness and documentation).
• Sampling equipment and devices: scoops, sampling tubes for liquids, sampling bottles/cans, bottom or zone samplers, spatulas, shovels, branch pipes and appropriate sample containers.
• Sampling procedures: pre‑sampling inspection, number of individual samples and homogeneity considerations, procedures for liquids, paste/pasty products, solids and powder coatings.
• Post‑sampling essentials: reduction in sample size (note: preparation for testing is in ISO 1513), labelling, storage and preparing the sampling report.
• Normative references include ISO 4618 (terms for paints) and ISO 6206 (sampling vocabulary).

Applications and who uses this standard

EN ISO 15528:2020 is used wherever reliable, representative sampling of paints, varnishes and related raw materials is required:

• Paint and coating manufacturers - incoming raw material inspection, batch release and quality control.
• Laboratories and testing houses - obtaining representative test specimens for conformity and performance testing.
• Suppliers and purchasers - sampling at receipt, during transport (tank wagons, ships' tanks) and at storage facilities (silos, big‑bags).
• Regulators, inspectors and dispute resolution experts - providing objective sampling methods for compliance checks and claims handling.
• Logistics and storage operators - standardized sampling during handling and transfer operations.

Related standards

• ISO 1513 - sample preparation and reduction for testing (complements ISO 15528).
• ISO 4618 - paints and varnishes - terms and definitions.
• ISO 6206 - sampling vocabulary.
• Note: EN ISO 15528:2020 supersedes EN ISO 15528:2013 and incorporates powder coating sampling previously in ISO 8130‑9.

Keywords: EN ISO 15528:2020, ISO 15528:2020, paints sampling, varnishes sampling, coating powders sampling, sampling procedure, sample containers, representative sample.

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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 15528:2013) and ISO 8130-9:1992, which
have been technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— sampling of powder coatings from ISO 8130-9 has been included in the scope;
— all information on sample dividing of coating powders originally in ISO 8130-9 has been deleted;
— the text has been editorially revised and the normative references have been updated.

ISO 15528:2020(E)
Introduction
Sampling depends on the product and the size of the container but not on the type of product, for
example paint, varnish, coating powder, binder, pigment, extender or solvent. ISO 1513 specifies both
the procedure for preliminary examination of a single sample as received for testing and the procedure
for preparing a test sample by blending and reduction of a series of samples representative of a
consignment of paint, varnish or related product. The samples of the product to be tested have been
taken in accordance with this document.
Correct sampling forms the basis for the subsequent tests and their results. The various sampling
procedures need to be carried out with great care by operators having the required knowledge and
experience. The general instructions in this document are intended to supplement this knowledge
and experience and are applicable to most situations. However, some products might require special
sampling precautions that are not given in this document; therefore, special vigilance will be necessary
on the part of operators to take note of any unusual characteristics exhibited by those products.
Operators should be aware of product specifications and national safety regulations which could
require special precautions.
