NAC587.250. Labeling and sealing: Requirements.

     1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, seed of all certified classes, when offered for sale in bags or other containers, must have an official certification label, properly affixed to each container, clearly identifying the certifying agency, kind, variety, lot number and class of seed. In the case of seed sold in bulk, the invoice must include the same information as required for the label on seed sold in containers. Official certification labels on seed mixtures and seed in containers of quantities of 5 pounds or less are not required to bear the name of the kind and variety of each component if the name of the kind and variety is indicated elsewhere on the container.

     2. The official certification label may be printed directly on the container if accounting for the use of such containers is maintained by the Department.

     3. Requirements for labeling for certification and sealing depend upon the crop and methods of handling, but in all cases labels must be attached to containers in a manner that prevents removal and reattachment.
