This Standard sets out the method for selecting-
(a) the location of sampling or test sites for testing of soils;
(b) the time at which a sample is to be taken; and
(c) the tonnage or volume of material at which a sample is to be taken.
The method uses random numbers obtained from a random number table (see Table 1) or generated using a suitable electronic calculator or algorithm.
The method is based on ASTM D 3665.
