AS/NZS 1362:1998

Sets out calculation procedures for combining the wool base, vegetable matter, commercial yields and mean fibre diameter test results of component lots in a delivery of raw wool, for which the issue of one overall certificate is required. Specifies the precision of the test results reported on the certificate. It is identical with and has been reproduced from IWTO-31-96.

This method sets out the calculation procedures for combining the Wool Base, Vegetable Matter, Commercial Yields and/or Mean Fibre Diameter test results of component lots in a delivery of raw wool, for which the issue of one overall Certificate is required. The method also sets out the calculation procedures for combining the Mean Fibre Diameter when Fibre Diameter Distribution data are available, and for combining the individual Fibre Diameter Distributions. In addition the method sets out the calculation procedures for combining Staple Length, Staple Strength, and Position of Break. Calculation procedures for combining Colour Tristimulus Values are also included. The precisions of the test results reported on the Certificate are specified.Furthermore the method sets out the procedures for calculating these parameters for the remainder of a delivery or lot of wool, when part of that previously certified delivery or lot is to be removed after being certified separately. These procedures can only be used for the calculation of an "IWTO Combined Test Certificate (By Subtraction)", under the restricted circumstances described in the IWTO Core Test Regulations, Section 4.2.4.
