Regulation 4(1)(b)
[F1The appropriate authority] will assess a stand with respect to the purpose specified in the application made under regulation 7(7) to which the reproductive material produced from it is intended to be put (“the specified purpose”). They shall give due weight to such of the criteria for selection set out in paragraphs 1 to 10 below as are appropriate to the specified purpose.

1. [F1The appropriate authority] shall determine either by historical evidence or other appropriate means whether the stand is autochthonous, indigenous or neither (in which case the origin must be established if known), or that the origin is not known.

2. [F1The appropriate authority] shall be satisfied that stands are situated at a reasonable distance from poor stands of the same species, or from stands of a related species or variety which can form hybrids with the species in respect of which application is made, so as to reduce the chances of the stand’s quality and characteristics being detrimentally affected by such poor stands. [F1The appropriate authority] shall pay particular attention to this requirement when the stands surrounding autochthonous or indigenous stands are not autochthonous or indigenous or if they are of unknown origin.

3. [F1The appropriate authority] shall be satisfied that stands consist of one or more groups of trees well distributed and sufficiently numerous to ensure adequate inter-pollination.

5. [F1The appropriate authority] shall be satisfied that stands show a normal degree of individual variation in morphological characters and, when in [F2the appropriate authority's] judgment it is necessary, inferior trees shall be removed.

7. Trees in stands must in general be free from attacks by damaging organisms and show resistance to any adverse climatic and site conditions in the place where they are growing, except that resistance to damage by pollution need not be demonstrated.
8. For the approval of stands, [F1the appropriate authority] shall be satisfied that volume production of wood is superior to the accepted mean under similar ecological and management conditions.
