During certification, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries takes a sample from each batch. These samples then form the basis for planting out in the post-control field.

Packaging and shipment proceeds under strict supervision:

• during packaging, each batch receives an official certificate that also serves as a plant passport
• inspection guarantees conformity of the seed with the quality class mentioned in the certificate
• the certificate is always marked with a batch number to indicate the origin of each package
