Preissued certification tags.

74-03-01-13. Preissued certification tags. Certified tags may be issued before conditioning only if prior approval has been granted by the state seed department. Tags will be preissued only under the following conditions: 1. A representative sample from the conditioned seed lot, along with the grower's declaration, if required, sampler's report, and printed analysis tag must be submitted immediately after the lot is conditioned. 2. The conditioned lot shall not be moved from the labeler's premises until the sample has been tested by the state seed department laboratory and final certification has been completed. If the seed lot does not meet label claims, the lot will be rejected, and the labeler must remove certification tags and return them to the state seed department. 3. The use of a certification label preprinted on bags will be permitted if prior approval by the state seed department is granted. Analysis information may also be printed on the bag. The approved conditioning facility must submit a preprinted analysis tag from the bags used with the sample for final certification.
