Line 241:

For example:

* a mixture of plastic and aluminium would need a frequency of once for every 15 tonnes, and a sample size of 20kg

* a mixture of steel and glass would need a frequency of once for every 20 tonnes, and a sample size of 10kg

=== Output sampling categories ===

As a minimum, the grade of [[glass]], [[Aluminium cans|aluminium]], [[Metal|steel]], [[Paper & Card|paper]], [[Paper & Card|card]], [[plastic]] or fibre-based composite material making up the specified output materials produced in the <abbr>MF must be identided and recorded.</abbr>

The 'Grade' of material describes the particular material specification of that material type.

For example, you may identify different grades of the following material using physical or chemical characteristics as follows:

* grades of [[glass]] may be based on colour such as clear glass or mixed coloured glass

* grades of [[plastic]] may be based on polymers including natural high density polyethylene ([[HDPE (2)|HDPE]]) bottle, coloured [[HDPE (2)|HDPE]] bottles, or clear [[PET (1)|PET]] bottle

Each batch of specified output material must be sampled and measured to identify:

* target material

* non-target material

* non-recyclable material

The weight of all categories identified must be measured and recorded, including packaging and drink container proportions in kilograms.

=== [[Packaging Waste|Packaging]] and drinks containers ===

For each category of target, non-target and non-recyclable materials, the proportions of:

* [[Packaging Waste|packaging]] items, except for [[glass]] unless specifically required by the regulator

* drinks containers

must be measured and recorded.

=== Additional sampling of [[glass]] packaging ===

Requirements for additional sampling of glass packaging are similar to the input sampling rules. The minimum number of output samples you need to take for these measurements will be specified by the written notice from the regulator.

=== Material particles ===

Material particles must be seperately measured and recorded in the output sample, following the sampling andmesaurement rules given under the input sampling informtion above to calculate proportions.
