S.L. 433.10 Art. 10Identification of reproductive material.

(1) During all stages of production, reproductive material shall be kept separate by reference from the individual units of approval. Each lot of reproductive material shall be identified by the following:

(a) master certificate code and number;

(b) botanical name;

(c) category;

(d) purpose;

(e) type of basic material;

(f) register reference or identity code for the region of provenance;

(g) region of provenance ñ for reproductive material of the "source-identified" and "selected" categories or other reproductive material if appropriate;

(h) if appropriate, whether the origin of the material is autochthonous or indigenous, non-autochthonous or non-indigenous, or unknown;

(i) in the case of seed units, the year of ripening;

(j) age and type of planting stock of seedlings or cuttings, whether undercuts, transplants or containerised; and

(k) whether it is genetically-modified.

(2) Without prejudice to the provisions of subregulation (1) and of regulation 16(1)(c), the Directorate may provide for subsequent vegetative propagation of a single unit of approval in the "selected", "qualified" and "tested" categories. In such cases, the material shall be kept separate and identified as such.

(3) Without prejudice to the provisions of subregulation (1), the Directorate may provide:

(a) within a single region of provenance, for mixing of region of provenance, from seed sources and stands in the "source-identified category takes place, that the new combined lot will be certified as "reproductive material derived from a seed source";

(c) when mixing of reproductive material derived from non-autochthonous or non-indigenous basic material with reproductive material obtained from basic material of unknown origin takes place, that the new combined lot will be certified as being "of unknown origin";

(d) when mixing takes place in accordance with paragraphs (a) to (c) that the identity code for the region of provenance may be substituted for the register reference as in subregulation (1)(f);

(e) for mixing of reproductive material derived from a single unit of approval from different years of ripening; and

(f) when mixing takes place in accordance with paragraph

(e) that the actual years of ripening and proportion of material from each year shall be recorded.
