Pulps - Determination of saleable mass in lots - Part 1: Pulp baled in sheet form

This technical specification establishes a comprehensive framework for the procedures governing the determination of batches in the context of cellulosic materials, specifically targeting pulp packages. The document outlines essential methodologies designed to ensure consistency and accuracy during the sampling and evaluation of fiber inputs used in various industrial applications. It details the criteria for defining what constitutes a single production unit, facilitating uniform practices across different manufacturing facilities. The guidelines address critical aspects such as sample selection, handling protocols, and the aggregation of data to represent the entire lot effectively. By adhering to these defined parameters, stakeholders can achieve reliable results that support quality control processes and facilitate trade. The text serves as a reference for operators and inspectors seeking to implement standardized approaches when assessing the characteristics of pulp bales. This approach promotes interoperability and reduces ambiguity in the reporting of batch-related information within the supply chain.
