Sampling for testing," which defines the sampling procedure of unshaped refractory products for testing purposes, the GOST standard "Methods for determining the concentration of zirconium dioxide in refractory products and materials ", the GOST R standard "General specifications for sanitary systems in mobile buildings".

Please note that the specifications of the new GOST R standard have been developed by the independent non-profit organisation "Roskatchestvo" and that compliance with these standards is voluntary, but highly recommended.
