This Standard outlines considerations and specifies procedures for taking disturbed samples of soils for engineering purposes such as earthworks and pavements, subdividing the samples and details for packing and forwarding them for examination and testing. In order to obtain appropriate representative samples, sampling is to be carried out by operators properly trained in the procedures and considerations given in this Standard and in general sampling techniques.

In order to obtain appropriate representative samples, sampling is to be carried out by operators properly trained in the procedures and considerations given in this Standard and in general sampling techniques.The Standard does not cover undisturbed sampling of soils or sampling soils for tests for environmental purposes.Disturbed soil samples may be suitable for visual identification and for classification, chemical, density tests and strength tests on remoulded specimens.The selection of sites from where samples are to be taken is not covered by this Standard. Random selection of sampling sites, when required, is covered by AS 1289.1.4.1 or 1.4.2.
