2.3.10 Representative Sampling<br />

A representative sample accurately reflects the true conditions of the source from<br />

which the sample was taken. To ensure a representative sample, gently but<br />

thoroughly mix every sample before collecting aliquots (sample portions). Do not<br />

allow particles to settle before making measurements.<br />

Note: Mix by gentle inversion only.<br />

DO NOT SHAKE.<br />

Run water for at least five minutes before sampling from a water tap in a<br />

distribution system or treatment plant. When sampling from a body of water<br />

(e.g., a stream, reservoir, clarifier or storage tank), collect at least one liter<br />

(1 quart), and thoroughly mix before taking an aliquot for measurement. If the<br />

sample source is not uniform, it may be necessary to sample several locations at<br />

varying depths, and combine the samples into a single, well mixed composite<br />

sample before measurement.<br />
