mintavételre

Mintavételre is a Hungarian term used to indicate the purpose of an action: “for sampling.” It is formed from mintavétel (sampling) with the suffix -re, which marks direction or purpose. In technical, regulatory, and procedural texts it is employed to specify that the described activity is intended to collect a sample for analysis or testing, rather than to perform another task.

The term appears across many fields where sampling is essential. Common contexts include environmental monitoring (water, soil, air sampling), medical diagnostics (biological samples such as blood or tissue), food safety and quality control (food and beverage sampling), and forensic or regulatory investigations. In documents, formulations such as “az eljárás mintavételre kerül” or “mintavételre vonatkozó protokoll” help delineate the scope of the procedure.

In practice, a mintavételre statement is typically accompanied by a mintavételi terv and details on methods, sample handling, preservation, labeling, and transport. It also implies the need for proper documentation and chain of custody to ensure sample integrity and traceability. The approach aims to achieve representative samples while minimizing contamination and bias.

Quality and standards are closely tied to mintavételre in official texts. Laboratories and authorities often rely on standardized procedures and guidelines, including sector-specific standards and, where applicable, ISO/IEC 17025, to ensure reliability and comparability of results. The term thus functions as a concise marker of purpose within formal procedures.
