Italian term

vendita su campione

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Contract
The text refers to the sale of items of clothing and under the heading:

'Conformita al Campione' there is:

Nel caso di vendita su campione, sono tollerate lievi differenze o distonie di colore rispetto al campione.

What would the proper translation in English be? Could it be sample shopping?

Thanks !!

xlationhouse Jul 2, 2007:
My first thought was "sample sale": where a label puts samples up for sale (usually a 1- or 2-day event) and they cost less than in the retail store.

Given the context, it seems like "buying according to sample." But I don't know the right term...

neutral hirselina : The type of "sample sale" in this link has nothing to do with "vendita su campione"

I am posting according to Mary Stefan's suggestion, since I had already posted the term in my note to the asker. Who knows, maybe it is right...
