 * the total number of samples taken for each supplier
 * the total weight of all samples
+=== Input sample size and frequency ===
+An input sample must be taken for '''every 75 tonnes''' of incoming waste material received for '''each supplier''' in a given reporting period.
+The samples must meet the following requirements:
+* the minimum weight of each sample is 55kg
+* the average weight of all samples taken should be at least 60kg
+=== Input sampling categories ===
+The composition of all the samples taken against specific categories must be measured. You must measure and record the weight of all categories identified in kilograms.
+Measurement of all input samples must be undertaken to identify whether the material is:
+* target material
+* non-target material
+* non-recyclable material
+'''<u>Target material</u>''' refers to one or more kind of materials identified by  the operator of a <abbr>MF</abbr>, as destined for:
+* separation from waste material received
+* consolidation to produce bulk quantities of the identified material
+'''<u>Non-target material</u>''' is material that may be recyclable but is not identified as a target material by the operator of the <abbr>MF</abbr>.
+'''<u>Non-recyclable material</u>''' is [[Waste|waste]] material that currently cannot be viably [[Recycling|recycled]].
+=== Input material types ===
+There are 10 input material categories:
+* [[glass]]
+* [[Metal|aluminium]]
+* [[Metal|steel]]
+* [[Paper & Card|paper]]
+* [[Paper & Card|card]]
+* [[Plastic|plastic bottles]]
+* [[Plastic|plastic pots, tubs and trays]]
+* [[Plastic|film or other flexible]]
+* [[Plastic|other plastic]]
+* fibre-based composite material
+Fibre-based composite material is a category of packaging material that is typically made of paperboard or paper fibres and laminated with plastic.
