Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 . In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives) .

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identi fied during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents) .

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation on the meaning of ISO speci fic terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TB T) , see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information .
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 158, Analysis of gases.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7504:2001), which has been technically
revised for alignment with the terminology used in other International Standards, including
ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 and ISO/IEC Guide 9 9: 2007.

Sampling de finitions

Table B .1 lists the terms related to sampling that are well de fined by ISO 10715.

Table B.1 — Terms related to sampling and reference to ISO 10715

Term Reference

direct sampling 2 .1

indirect sampling 2 .7

line a

sample container 2 .14

sample line 2 .15

sample probe 2 .16

sampling point 2 .17

transfer line 2 .19

a Line is not de fined in ISO 10715. De finition of line is a
gas-tight system of tubing equipped with accessories, such
as valves, manometers, etc. , enabling gas to be transported
from one point to another.
