This Indian Standard (Part 3) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 13909-3 : 2016 'Hard coal and coke - Mechanical sampling - Part 3: Coal - Sampling from stationary lots' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Solid Mineral Fuels and Solid Biofuels Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2014 which superseded IS 436 (Part 1/Sec 2) : 1976 'Methods for sampling of coal and coke: Part 1 Sampling of coal, Section 2 Mechanical sampling' and IS 436 (Part 2) : 1965 'Methods of sampling of coal and coke: Part 2 Sampling of coke ( revised )'.

The major changes in this revision are as follows:

a) Scope (1) has been modified;

b) Normative references (2) have been updated;

c) Continuous and intermittent sampling (4.2) and intermittent sampling (4.4.5.3) have been removed;
