6. Inspection Rules
……
6.2 Inspection before leaving the factory
6.2.1 Before the products leave the factory, the inspection department of the factory shall inspect it batch by batch according to the provisions of this standard. After passing the inspection, a certificate of quality conformity is issued. And the signed quality certificate is attached to the box (in or outside the box). The products can leave the factory.
6.2.2 Sampling method and quantity
Each batch is randomly sampled 15 bottles (cans), (6 bottles are sampled above 2L). 6 bottles (cans) (2 bottles above 2L) for sensory requirements, net content, pH, conductivity testing, [net content determination 3 bottles (cans) (2L above 2 bottles)]; 3 bottles (cans) (2 bottles above 2L) for the detection of the total number of colonies and coliform; The other 6 bottles (cans) (2 bottles above 2L) are kept samples for later use. [Please read the translator note to paragraph 6.2.2]
[Translator note to 6.2.2]: For products with a volume of less than 2L, from any batch of product, 15 bottles (cans) are randomly sampled per batch; Among them:
……
6.3.2 Sampling method and quantity
From any batch of products, 18 bottles (cans) are randomly sampled (6 bottles are sampled over 2L). 9 bottles (cans) (2 bottles, over 2L) for the inspection of sensory requirements, net content, physical and chemical indicators [Net content determination 3 bottles (cans) (2 bottles, over 2L)]; 3 bottles (cans) (2 bottles, over 2L) for microbial testing; The other 6 bottles (cans) (2 bottles, above 2L) are kept samples for later use. [Please read the translator note to paragraph 6.3.2]

Annex A
(Standards Annex)
Determination of conductivity
A1 Method Summary
Conductivity is refers to the reciprocal of resistance measured between two electrodes at a distance of 1 cm and a cross-sectional area of 1 cm2, which is read directly by a conductivity meter.
A2 Instruments and Reagents
A2.1 Instruments
A2.1.1 Conductivity meter (with supporting conductivity electrode).
……
A3 Analysis Steps
According to the instructions for use of the conductivity meter, select the electrode and measurement conditions, and adjust the conductivity meter. After washing the electrode 3 times with the solution to be measured, insert it into the beaker (A2.1.2) [Translator note: it should be A.2.1.3] containing the solution to be measured. Select the appropriate range and read the reading on the meter to calculate the conductivity value of the solution to be measured.
……
A5 Determination of the Electrode Constant
Take the electrode with unknown electrode constant, wash it 5 times with potassium chloride standard solution (A2.2), insert it into a beaker containing potassium chloride standard solution (A2.2), and measure the conductivity at a certain temperature to calculate the electrode constant.
Electrode constant = K/S ………. (A1)
