The label, or the records on the mother plant, shall be retained by the professional operator until the issuance of the official label of the marketed seed.
(b)The previous cropping of the field shall be compatible with the production of seed of the species, variety and category of the crop, and the field shall be sufficiently free from such plants, which may have remained from previous cropping (volunteers).
(c)The mother plants or seed shall be planted and/or sowed in a way, which assures:
(i)sufficient distance from pollen sources of the same species and/or different varieties, from any undesirable foreign pollination, so as to avoid cross pollination with other crops, where applicable; and
(ii)an appropriate source and level of pollination to ensure the subsequent reproduction, where applicable.
(d)The quality of soil, substrates, mother plants and the immediate environment shall be inspected to avoid presence of pests or their vectors, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031.
(e)The machines and any equipment used shall be inspected, and weed or seed from other species or varieties shall be removed.
(f)Where appropriate, the production of seeds shall take place separately from the cultivation of seeds belonging to the same genera or species intended for the production of food or feed, to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements applicable only for the PRM concerned.
(g)Where applicable, in vitro propagation may also be used for the reproduction of seeds.
B.Field cultivation:
(a)It shall be ensured that plants of other species, other varieties, appearing as varietal impurity, obviously differing from the variety in one or more characteristics from the variety description (‘off-type’), in the field, are absent. Where this is not possible due to the characteristics of the species concerned, they shall be present up to the lowest possible level.
In the case of presence of off-types or other plant species or varieties during the cultivation stage, or during seed processing, appropriate treatment and/or elimination shall be applied to ensure varietal identity and purity of the seed, and to avoid the presence of any undesirable species.
(b)The plants shall be treated or excluded as a source of PRM in case of positive test results or visual symptoms of pests, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, or defects.
(c)PRM, including, where applicable, mother plants, shall be maintained in a way to ensure the identity of the variety. That maintenance shall be based on the official description or the officially recognised description of the variety.
(d)The mother plants shall be maintained in all phases of production, under conditions to enable the production of seeds, and permit their identification with the official description of their variety.
(e)All crops in the field shall be inspected officially or under official supervision at their relevant growth stage(s), at the relevant frequency and with the relevant methods, as appropriate, for the species concerned to verify the respective requirements. The methods for inspections shall be in accordance with the applicable international standards. If it is not possible to remove or separate non-compliant plants during the growing phase, the entire field shall be discarded for seed production, unless the undesirable seeds can be mechanically separated at a later stage.

Testing shall include, where appropriate, retesting of germination rate after a certain period appropriate to the species concerned.
(c)Seed lots shall be subject to risk-based official post-control-testing to verify the compliance with:
(i)their varietal identity;
