Official Samples for Service Testing
Beginning January 2, 2007, customers who require testing of official samples must have their official samples drawn by a Seed Regulatory Testing Division authorized seed sampler. These samplers have been trained, evaluated, and authorized to sample seed in accordance with pertinent guidelines for the purpose of service testing by Seed Regulatory Testing Division. USDA Seed Analysis Certificates will include a statement regarding the seed as an official sample. Each official sample must be accompanied by the authorized seed sampler’s documentation in addition to the customer’s request for analysis. A seed sample that is not accompanied by the authorized seed sampler’s report will not be considered as an official sample but will be tested according to customer request, and the resulting USDA Seed Analysis Certificate will not make any reference to an official sample.
