(a) The seed certification standards of the New York Seed Improvement Cooperative shall apply to seed certified under interagency procedures. Standards applicable to the class of certification service rendered shall prevail. If there are no standards for the crop handled under interagency certification, the standards of the State in which the seed was field inspected shall be applied. In either case such standards shall be equal to or better than the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies' standards.
(b) Seed entering New York that was produced as certified seed in another state or province may be eligible for New York certification providing that this seed falls within recognized tolerances of the seed standards of the New York Seed Improvement Cooperative. Recognized tolerances shall be those listed in the most recent edition of the rules for testing, adopted by the Association of Official Seed Analysts. The analysis sample size shall be that specified by the Association of Official Seed Analysts in this same edition.
