26.—(1) The person in charge of a licensed seed testing station may apply to the Department for the licence held in respect of that licensed seed testing station to be varied so as to authorise its use as a laboratory that may carry out statutory seed testing on another species of seed in addition to the species specified in the licence or instead of such species.

(2) Where an application is made under paragraph (1) the Department shall vary the licence so as to authorise the laboratory to which it relates to carry out statutory seed testing on the species of seed to which that application relates if the Department is satisfied that the laboratory is suitable, having regard to the matters to be taken into account in Part 1 of Schedule 4.
