This document provides guidance on taking and handling samples related to oil spill identification in legal proceedings. Guidance is given on obtaining samples from both the spill and its potential source. Preservation of evidence is an essential part of legal procedures and this document presents appropriate oil sampling procedures. WARNING – The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the standard, and to determine the applicability of any other restrictions for this purpose. IMPORTANT – Most countries have teams with specialists trained in sampling on board of ships. Do not take unnecessary risks, seek assistance from such teams where available. NOTE For the sake of clarity, the word \u2018oil\u2019 is used throughout this document. It can equally refer to crude oil, a petroleum product or mixtures of such.<\/p>\n
