All samples of agricultural liming material drawn by the commissioner or his designated agent as official samples shall be forwarded to the State Chemist for analysis or test. The State Chemist shall perform all necessary analyses and tests and furnish the commissioner with an official laboratory report of his findings or determinations at no cost to the commissioner for such analyses, tests or reports. The methods of analysis and sampling shall be those approved by the commissioner and the State Chemist, and shall be guided by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) procedures.
