A shipping batch, as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency via its SEDD Specification Version 5.2, is a "sampler-defined identifier that is used to link multiple samples shipped together, such as in the same crate, cooler, or ice chest. Operationally, this batch associates a trip blank with a group of samples." The EPA adds that "this value, as defined by the shippers, is often not known to the laboratory. It might be merged with laboratory data by a validator."[1]
