Full title and description

STB BS ISO 2067-2019 — Granulated cork, broken cork and crushed cork — Sampling for the determination of moisture content. This document is the British adoption (BS ISO) of ISO 2067:2019 and specifies a sampling method to obtain representative samples of granulated, broken and crushed cork for subsequent determination of moisture content.

Abstract

This standard defines the sampling procedure (sampling plan, sample size and handling) required to collect representative material of granulated, broken or crushed cork for accurate determination of moisture content in laboratory testing. It is concise (short-format technical standard) and intended to ensure consistency and repeatability of moisture-content sampling across the cork supply chain.

General information

• Status: Published / Current (national adoption as BS ISO available).
• Publication date: ISO edition published 31 October 2019; BS identical adoption published late 2019 (BS release listed 30 November 2019).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO); British Standards Institution (BSI) for the BS ISO adoption.
• ICS / categories: 79.100 — Cork and cork products.
• Edition / version: Edition 4 (2019).
• Number of pages: 2 pages (short technical specification).

Scope

The standard specifies a sampling method for the determination of moisture content of granulated cork, broken cork and crushed cork. It covers representative sampling from consignments or batches and the treatment/handling of samples to preserve moisture characteristics until analysis. It is limited to sampling for moisture determination and does not itself specify the laboratory moisture-determination test method (which is covered by related test standards).

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the materials in scope: granulated cork, broken cork and crushed cork and relevant vocabulary references.
• Sampling plan and number of incremental samples to form a representative composite sample for moisture analysis.
• Instructions for sample handling, transport and storage to avoid moisture loss/gain before testing.
• Labelling and documentation of sampled lots to ensure traceability.
• Normative references and cross-references to cork vocabulary and moisture-determination methods (references such as ISO 633 and related moisture test standards).

Typical use and users

Used by cork product manufacturers, quality-control laboratories, material inspectors, import/export compliance officers, and testing/inspection bodies in the cork and agglomerated-cork supply chain. It supports consistent sampling for moisture control during production, incoming quality inspection and trade verification. National standards bodies and standards libraries also list/adopt this ISO as a BS identical publication.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced with ISO 2067:2019 include ISO 2190 (determination of moisture content for granulated cork and related moisture-test methods), ISO 633 (cork — vocabulary) and other technical documents produced by ISO/TC 87 (Cork). National identical adoptions include BS ISO 2067:2019.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 2067:2019 (published as BS ISO 2067:2019 in the UK adoption) is an international technical standard that specifies a sampling method for obtaining representative samples of granulated, broken and crushed cork for the purpose of measuring moisture content.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the sampling procedure — how to take incremental samples from consignments or batches, how to combine and handle those samples, and how to document and preserve sample integrity prior to laboratory moisture analysis. It does not itself prescribe the laboratory moisture-test method.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Cork manufacturers, material inspectors, QC laboratories, testing/inspection agencies, traders and any organisation needing a standardized, reproducible approach to sample cork products for moisture testing. National standards bodies and standards libraries distribute the BS-adopted text.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 2067:2019 is the current edition (published October 2019) and it replaces earlier editions (for example the 1998 edition). Users should confirm national adoption status (BS ISO listing) for the exact publication date of the identical national text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of ISO documents managed by ISO/TC 87 (Cork). It is related to other cork standards addressing vocabulary and test methods (e.g., ISO 633, ISO 2190).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Granulated cork; sampling; moisture content; crushed cork; broken cork; representative sample; quality control; ISO 2067; BS ISO 2067.
