II. Primary sample and bulk sample preparation 7. In the case of a consignment consisting of several units, the batch size or boundaries are hard to determine, every car, truck or ship's cargo is treated as a separate batch. 8. Shipment is one lot or batch compilation of multiple. Lot grading or manufacturing process can be mixed. 9. If the consignment consists of several lots, and it is possible to determine their origins (for example, different producers), a sample shall be taken from each lot separately. 10. the unit comprises: 10.1. each whole vegetable or fruit or natural bunch. Fresh fruit or vegetables do not rotate; 10.2. healthy, not broken eggs; 10.3. the whole of the animal body part or organ, or part of it – the big animals, their parts or organs. To prepare the units for body parts or organs can be cut; 10.4. any whole or part of the carcase, or whole organs – small animals, their parts or organs; 10.5. the smallest individual packaging, if sampling of packaged products. If the smallest packages are very small, the unit consists of several packages. If the smaller package is very large, the Unit prepared using a sampling device; 10.6. of the bulk material and the large packaging considered part of the product (for example, from the barrel, from a large cheese packaging). 11. Each primary sample is taken from a randomly chosen spot in the lot. The primary sample is taken in quantities to ensure the required number of laboratory samples from the bulk sample. 12. If from plant products, eggs and egg products, or in the case of milk and milk products in view of the party more than one primary sample, each primary sample consists of approximately equal parts of the total sample. 13. the minimum number of primary samples to be taken from the lot in accordance with the provisions of annex 1. Randomly selected primary samples of meat, poultry, party also takes in accordance with the provisions of annex 2. If you suspect that a lot of content too much pesticide residues, sample taken in accordance with the provisions of annex 2. 14.

Laboratory sample shall be placed in a clean, inert container (container) that protects from pollution, damage and leakage. The package is sealed and labelled and accompanied by the sampling protocol. 22. laboratory sample and the laboratory test sample take the parallel to the laboratory as quickly as possible, subject to the conditions of storage of the product. If there is a chance that the sample could spoil before it is delivered to the laboratory, meat, poultry meat, well before frozen samples.
IV. Analytical sample preparation laboratory sample of 23 allocated to each laboratory identification number. The date of receipt of the samples, sample size, and the identification number of the entry of the laboratory sampling protocol. 24. the analytical samples from the laboratory sample as early as possible.

Analytical part size is determined according to the method of analysis and the mixing efficiency. 26. Crushing and blending techniques does not affect existing analytical model in pesticide residue. To minimize the impact on pesticide residue quantity change, analytical processing of samples under appropriate conditions. 27. If the product can affect pesticide residue and alternative procedures are not available, the analytical part consists of whole units or segments taken from whole units. 28. If the analytical part consists of several whole units or segments and cannot be considered representative respect to the analytical sample analysed enough parallel part to obtain reliable results. 29. If the analytical part is stored before analysis, method and time of storage must not affect the determination of pesticide residues.
V. evaluation of the results of the analyses

30. The analytical results obtained from one or more laboratory samples. Results confirmed by the supporting quality control data. 31. If residues exceeding the maximum residue level established their identity and confirm the concentration, making re-analysis of one or more of the test parts. Test parts are taken from the original laboratory sample or laboratory samples of the original. 32. Pesticides shall be limited to the total sample, representative of the lot. 33. If the total of the sample results exceeds the quantity of pesticide residues laid down in Regulation No 396/2005, annex II and annex III service shall decide on the party's non-compliance with the rules laid down, taking into account: 33.1. results obtained from one or, if necessary, a number of laboratory samples; 33.2. the reliability and accuracy of analysis, which shows the supporting quality control data. 34.
