				  the approved testing methods stated in section
				  511, shall use equipment and follow
				  the methods and procedures outlined in the 18th
				  edition of the Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official
				  Analytical Chemists International (AOAC), which is incorporated by reference.
				  In the absence of prescribed equipment, methods, and procedures in AOAC, or
				  when the Department has documented evidence that a deviation from AOAC
				  procedures and equipment will provide testing results that are at least as
				  accurate and precise as results obtained under AOAC procedures, the Department
				  may give written authorization to use other testing methods and
				  deviations.
(b) For laboratories
				  that test raw milk for payment by infrared (IR) instrumentation, pursuant to
				  section 511(a)(5) of this
				  article, the procedures and pre-calibration checks outlined in section
				  15.121 of "Standard Methods for the
				  Examination of Dairy Products", 17th edition, which
				  is incorporated by reference, must be followed. A letter requesting approval of
				  an individual instrument for IR payment testing must be submitted to the
				  Department, along with results of the pre-calibration checks and results of a
				  minimum of 4 consecutive sets of IR calibration samples. All mean differences
				  and standard deviations shall meet the established tolerances, and individual
				  differences shall meet the tolerances with a 95% confidence interval. All data
				  will be reviewed and approved by the Department prior to the instrument being
				  approved for payment testing.

				  When the Babcock method is utilized for the testing of milk and cream for fat
				  content, the readings between lines of demarcation shall be extrapolated and
				  reported to the nearest five one hundredths of one percent (0.05%) or less for

				  used. Cylindrical shaped dippers, only, shall be used when samples are secured
				  with dippers. The sampling devices shall be rinsed in the product to be sampled
				  before any part of the product is transferred to the sample bottle. Sample
				  bottles shall be filled away from the farm tank opening so that no milk is
				  spilled back into the farm tank. Sample bottles shall be filled no more than
				  three quarters full to permit proper mixing of the sample at the
				  laboratory.
