§ 12605 Sample Division Procedure

This law says that when a sample is taken, it must be split into two roughly equal parts – one sealed and given back to the owner, and the other sent to the director for testing.

Key Takeaways

•The owner or bailee can ask for the sample to be split.
•The sample must be divided into two roughly equal parts.
•One part is sealed and returned to the owner; the other goes to the director for analysis.

Example

A farmer asks the state lab to test water from his well. He tells the lab to split the water sample in half, keep one sealed half for himself, and send the other half to the lab for analysis.

Because the farmer asked, the lab must divide the sample about 50/50, seal the part the farmer keeps, and send the other part to the director for testing, just like the law requires.

Upon the demand of the owner or bailee at or prior to the time of the sampling by the director, the sample which is drawn shall be divided into two approximately equal parts, one part of which shall be sealed and left with the owner or bailee and one part taken for analysis by the director. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
