Guide samples are prepared by senior inspectors to serve as comparative samples for interpreting abnormal grading factors present in a particular crop year, usually to reflect damage to grain from a specific area or to reflect a single grading factor. Senior inspectors also review samples of all types of shipments to ensure the accuracy of grain inspections. Each inspection point must maintain grade average samples and submit them periodically to head office for review. Any deviation from normal patterns is investigated, which may involve chemical analysis in the Grain Research Laboratory. 1, record 8, English, - guide%20and%20average%20samples

Des inspecteurs principaux préparent des échantillons témoins qui serviront de points de comparaison pour l'interprétation de facteurs d'agréage anormaux qui peuvent se présenter certaines campagnes; ces échantillons témoins sont habituellement préparés pour montrer les types de dommages qui peuvent être causés au grain provenant d'une région particulière ou tout simplement pour isoler un facteur d'agréage. Des inspecteurs principaux révisent aussi les échantillons prélevés sur tous les types de grains expédiés afin de vérifier la précision des inspections de grain. Chaque point d'inspection doit conserver des échantillons moyens des grades et en envoie périodiquement des prélèvements à l'administration centrale pour étude. Toute anomalie fait l'objet d'une enquête et les échantillons douteux peuvent être soumis à une analyse chimique au laboratoire de recherches sur les grains. 1, record 8, French, - %C3%A9chantillons%20t%C3%A9moins%20et%20%C3%A9chantillons%20moyens
