The non-destructive sampling method as described in ISO 17604 standard, including the rules for storage and transport of samples must be used.
For beef carcases, three sites must be sampled (leg, flank and neck). For pork carcases, two sites must be sampled (leg and brisket). An abrasive sponge sampling method must be used. The sampling area must cover a minimum of 100 cm2 per site selected. Samples from the different sampling sites on the carcase must be pooled before examination.
Each sample must be duly marked and identified.
Pieces of tissue must be obtained by punching a sterile cork borer into the meat surface or cutting a slice of tissue of approximately 25 cm2 with sterile instruments. The samples must be aseptically transferred into a sample container or plastic dilution bag and then homogenised (peristaltic stomacher or rotary blender (homogeniser)). Samples of frozen meat must remain frozen during transport to the laboratory. Samples from chilled meat must not be frozen but kept refrigerated. Separate samples of the same consignment may be pooled as established in EN/ISO 6579 standard, up to a maximum of 10.

Pieces of meat must be obtained by sampling of approximately 25 g with sterile instruments. The samples must be aseptically transferred into a sample container or plastic dilution bag and then homogenised (peristaltic stomacher or rotary blender (homogeniser)). Samples of frozen meat must remain frozen during transport to the laboratory. Samples from chilled meat must not be frozen but kept refrigerated. Separate samples of the same consignment may be pooled as established in EN/ISO 6579 standard, up to a maximum of 10.
Each sample must be duly marked and identified.
The number of carcases or half-carcases (units) in a consignment of which separate random samples are to be taken must be as follows:
Consignment (number of packing units) | Number of packing units to be sampled |
---|---|
1-24 | Number equal to the number of packing units, with a maximum of 20 |
25-29 | 20 |
30-39 | 25 |
40-49 | 30 |
50-59 | 35 |
60-89 | 40 |
90-199 | 50 |
200-499 | 55 |
500 or more | 60 |

---|---|
1-24 | Number equal to the number of packing units, with a maximum of 20 |

60-89 | 40 |
90-199 | 50 |
200-499 | 55 |
500 or more | 60 |
Depending on the weight of the packing units, the number of packing units to be sampled may be reduced using the following multiplication factors:
Weight of packing units | > 20 kg | 10-20 kg | < 10 kg |
Multiplication factors | × 1 | × 3/4 | × 1/2 |
