[Regulation 3 amended in Gazette 22 May 2001 p. 2575.]
The classes of persons prescribed for the purposes of section 4(1) of the Act are —
(a)persons carrying on business in the course of which seed is solely used or prepared for sale for a purpose other than sowing; and
(b)persons carrying on business in the course of which seed is sold for direct export from
(1)The seeds of the plants referred to in the First Schedule are crop seeds.
(2)Where a seed lot sold contains crop seed and the mass of the seed lot is less than the mass set out in column 3 of the First Schedule in respect of each crop seed contained in the seed lot, Part II of the Act does not apply in relation to the seed lot.
The chemical additives information of which is required by section 7(2)(b) of the Act to be included in a statement in accordance with that subsection are those set out in the Second Schedule.
The seeds of the plants referred to in the Third Schedule are weed seeds.
(1)In determining, for the purposes of the Act, the proportion in which a seed is contained, or the proportion of seed that is germinable —
(a)intact seeds;
(b)achenes and similar fruits, schizocarps, and mericarps, with or without perianth and whether or not containing a true seed (unless it is readily apparent that no true seed is present);
(c)pieces of seeds, achenes, mericarps, and caryopses, resulting from breakage, that are more than one half their original size;
(d)clusters of seeds, other than of the family Poaceae; and
(e)florets and one‑flowered spikelets of the family Poaceae with an obvious caryopsis containing endosperm,
are to be taken as being seeds of the species to which they belong, notwithstanding that they may be immature, undersized, shrivelled, diseased, or germinated, unless they are incapable of being identified as being of the species or they are transformed into fungal sclerotia, smut balls, or nematode galls.
(2)For the purposes of determining, in connection with a seed certification scheme, the proportion in which seed of a particular cultivar or having resistance to a particular disease or other adverse factor is contained, subregulation (1) shall apply as if a reference to seeds of the species were a reference to seeds of the cultivar or having the relevant resistance, as the case may be.
(1)The test conditions to be used in ascertaining whether crop seed is germinable are as referred to in Part 1 of the Fourth Schedule.
(2)The growth characteristics to be exhibited by germinable crop seed, when subjected to the test conditions referred to in subregulation (1), are as described in Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule.
In the statement required by section 7 of the Act in respect of a seed lot, the tolerances applicable to —
(a)the proportion in which a crop seed is contained in the seed lot, are as prescribed in Part 1 of the Fifth Schedule;
(b)the minimum proportion of a crop seed that is germinable, are as prescribed in Part 2 of the Fifth Schedule;
(c)the maximum proportion in which a weed seed is contained in the seed lot, are as prescribed in Part 3 of the Fifth Schedule; and
(d)the maximum proportion in which seed not named under section 7(2)(d) of the Act is contained in the seed lot, are as prescribed in Part 4 of the Fifth Schedule.
(1)The minimum proportion of a particular crop seed that a seed lot is required by section 9 of the Act to contain before a claim may be made that the crop seed is of “select quality” is as set out in column 4 of the First Schedule in respect of that crop seed.
(2)The minimum proportion of a particular crop seed contained in a seed lot that is required by section 9 of the Act to be germinable seed before a claim may be made that the crop seed is of “select quality” is as set out in column 5 of the First Schedule in respect of that crop seed.
(3)The maximum proportion of seed other than a particular crop seed that a seed lot is permitted by section 9 of the Act to contain if a claim is to be made that the crop seed is of “select quality” is 0.1%.
(1)Where a sample is taken in accordance with Part 1 of the Sixth Schedule, the sample is, for the purposes of the Act, taken in the prescribed manner.
(2)The method prescribed, for the purposes of the Act, for making an analysis of a sample of seed or material containing seed is a method in accordance with Part 2 of the Sixth Schedule.
13.Seed analysis and report fees
The fees for the analysis of a seed sample provided under section 25 of the Act and for a report of the result of the analysis are set out in the Seventh Schedule.
[Regulation 13 inserted in Gazette 30 Jun 2010 p. 3121.]
(1)The Minister is authorised to prepare and conduct schemes for the purpose of testing and certifying —
(a)the cultivar of any kind of crop seed;
(b)the resistance of any crop seed to any disease or to any other adverse factor;
(c)the freedom of any crop seed from disease and pests;
(d)the proportion of any crop seed contained in any material tested;
(e)the proportion of any crop seed that is germinable;
(f)the proportion of any weed seed contained in any material tested; and
(g)that the material tested is of such quality that, upon its sale, it may, in accordance with section 9(1) of the Act, be described as crop seed of “select quality”.
(2)A person participating in a seed certification scheme who knowingly makes any statement in relation to a matter associated with the scheme that is false or misleading in any material particular commits an offence and is liable to a penalty not exceeding $500.
15.Registration of seed processing works
(1)Application may be made in writing to the Department for registration of premises as a seed processing works at which seed may be treated and packed for certification under a seed certification scheme specified in the application.
(2)Subject to subregulation (3), where an officer authorised in that behalf by the Minister is satisfied that premises to which an application under subregulation (1) relates comply with the requirements of the Eighth Schedule he shall, upon payment of a fee of $625 issue to the applicant a certificate of registration specifying —
(a)the premises registered; and
(b)the seed certification scheme, or each seed certification scheme, if there be more than one, in respect of which the premises are registered,
and cause the premises to be appropriately registered in a register to be kept in the Department for that purpose.
(3)Where application is made for the registration of premises pursuant to subregulation (2) and —
(a)the applicant is a person to whom a certificate of registration has previously been issued in respect of any premises the registration of which has been cancelled in accordance with these regulations at any time while that person held such certificate of registration; or
(b)the premises have been previously registered under these regulations, whether upon the application of the same or any other person, and the registration of the premises has been cancelled in accordance with these regulations,
the Minister may direct that the application be refused and the applicant shall be advised accordingly.
(4)Application may be made to the Department in writing, accompanied by the certificate of registration to which the application relates, for the addition to a certificate of registration of any other seed certification scheme or schemes in respect of which it is desired that the premises the subject of the certificate be registered and, if an officer authorised in that behalf by the Minister is satisfied that the premises would comply with the requirements of the Eighth Schedule in relation to the other seed certification scheme or, as the case may be, schemes, he shall, upon payment of a fee of $508, endorse the certificate of registration by adding to it the seed certification schemes concerned and shall cause a corresponding entry to be made in the register referred to in subregulation (2).
(5)The registration of premises pursuant to subregulation (2) has effect, unless sooner cancelled in accordance with these regulations, for one year or during such further periods for which the registration is renewed, but during any period for which the registration is suspended the premises shall be deemed not to be registered.
(6)Where, within 28 days before the registration of premises under this regulation is due to expire, application is made to the Department for the renewal of the registration of the premises and an officer authorised in that behalf by the Minister is satisfied that the premises comply with the requirements of the Eighth Schedule, the officer shall, upon payment of $508, cause the registration of the premises to be renewed for a further year and an entry to that effect to be made in the register referred to in subregulation (2).
(7)Where applications made under subregulations (4) and (6) at the same time and in respect of the same premises are both granted, only one fee of $508 shall be payable in respect of both the endorsement and the renewal.

[Reg. 9]
The test conditions to be used in ascertaining whether crop seed is germinable are those printed in chapter 5, and in Annexes to chapter 5, of “Seed Science and Technology” Volume 4, Number 1, 1976, published by the International Seed Testing Association, as added to and amended in —
(a)the “Report of the Rules Committee 1974‑1977”, printed in “Seed Science and Technology” Volume 6, Number 1, 1978; and
(b)the “Report of the Rules Committee 1977‑1980”, printed in “Seed Science and Technology” Volume 9, Number 1, 1981,
each published by the International Seed Testing Association.
Part 2 — Growth characteristics of germinable seed
(1)Germinable seeds are seeds which, when tested under the conditions referred to in Part 1, produce seedlings which —
(a)possess —
(i)a well‑developed root system including a primary root, except for those plants normally producing seminal roots;
(ii)a well‑developed and intact hypocotyl and/or epicotyl without damage to the conducting tissues and in dicotyledons, a normal plumule;
(iii)in the case of plants of the family Poaceae, a well‑developed primary leaf within or emerging through the coleoptile; and
(iv)one cotyledon for seedlings of monocotyledons and 2 cotyledons for seedling of dicotyledons;
or
(b)although having one or more of the following slight defects, otherwise show vigorous and balanced development of the structures referred to in paragraph (a) and show the capacity for continued development into normal plants when grown in good quality soil, and under favourable conditions of water supply, temperature and light —
(i)being seedlings of the Zea species a species of the family Malvaceae or Cucurbitaceae, or of a large‑seeded legume, have a damaged primary root, but several adventitious and lateral roots of sufficient length and vigour to support the seedling in soil;
(ii)are seedlings having superficial damage or decay to the essential structures of the seedling which is limited in area and does not affect the conducting tissues;
(iii)are seedlings of dicotyledons with only one cotyledon.
(2)Where seedlings are decayed by fungi or bacteria, and it is clearly apparent that —
(a)the parent seed is not the source of infection; and
(b)but for the decay, the seedlings would have been in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) of item 1,
the seedlings are deemed to be in accordance with that paragraph.
