2. Lot numbers or certified field numbers must be:

A representative sample of each lot of seed must be taken before final certification to determine whether the seed meets the standards for purity, germination or other specific requirement for certification.

4. All seed or plant samples taken for determination of certification eligibility must be tested by the Department or in a laboratory approved by the Department.
