NAC587.252. Methods and standards of interagency certification.

     1. The methods and standards employed in each step of interagency certification are those used when certification is completed by a single agency with the exception that seed for which final certification is completed in Nevada must meet the minimum requirements for the crop and variety as specified by the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies.

     2. To be recognized for interagency certification, seed must be received in containers carrying official certification labels or evidence of its eligibility from another certifying agency, including the following information:

     (a) Variety and kind;

     (b) Amount of seed in pounds or bushels;

     (c) Class of certified seed; and

     (d) Inspection or lot number traceable to the previous certifying agency’s records.

     3. In addition to complying with NAC 587.250, each label used in interagency certification must be serially numbered, or carry the certification identity number and clearly identify the certifying agencies involved and the variety, kind and class of seed except vegetable seed in containers of quantities of 5 pounds or less and lawn and turf seed mixtures. Labels for such vegetable seed and lawn and turf seed mixtures are not required to include the name of the kind and variety if the name of the kind and variety and the certifying agencies involved are clearly indicated elsewhere on the containers.

     4. If a container of certified seed is opened and relabeled, all procedures must be conducted with the approval of the certifying agencies involved.
