Musterzug

English translation: sampling; sample-taking

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Musterzug
English translation:sampling; sample-taking

/ Warehousing
German term or phrase: Musterzug
Appears on a received goods inspection form:

"Musterzug für Rückstellmuster".

Does this simply mean "Sample withdrawn"? I think the "Zug" is referring to "ziehen", which conveys the idea of pulling out a sample from the batch.

Am I on the right track, or is there an official warehousing term I should use for "Musterzug"? TIA for your help.

This answer was the closest to what I finally decided on (although I actually call Rückstellmuster retained samples). The repetition of "sample" is a little ugly, but never mind. Thanks to everyone for your ideas.

Explanation:
this may not be exactly "it", but it is in that direction.

ein Muster ziehen - take a sample

It has to do with quality control.
