Definition of "Sample"
Item given or sold to a buyer that establishes a standard of quality by which later products will be judged. Since the uniform commercial code does not distinguish between a sample and a model, a sample may create an implied warranty that all goods will conform to this standard. If other goods shipped later do not meet this standard, the manufacturer may be held liable.
