(2) Samples so collected for moisture testing shall be submitted intact to the licensed seed testing station or the Scottish Ministers in an airtight container.
(3) Where the sample seed for moisture testing is submitted for testing in a different container from the submitted sample then the sample of seed for moisture testing shall be obtained as follows–
(a)the composite sample from the relevant seed lot shall be passed through a riffle divider which complies with paragraph 21(a) in accordance with paragraph 22(a) to (e); and
(b)a clean and dry airtight container shall be passed through the seed in one of the two pans into which the seed was passed until the airtight container is filled with a sample of at least 100 grams.
(4) Where the sample of seed for moisture testing is collected and submitted for testing in the same airtight container as the submitted sample, then the methods of sampling set out in this Part of this Schedule for obtaining the submitted sample shall also be used to obtain the sample submitted for moisture testing.
