(a) all fresh and healthy seed, which does not germinate after previous treatment, shall be regarded as viable;
(b) hard seed, which does not exceed the maximum amount specified, shall be regarded as capable of germination;
(c) up to 0.8% of seed weight of other meadow grass (Poa spp.) species shall not be regarded as an admixture as a whole;
(d) up to 1% of seed weight of red clover (Trifolium pratense) shall not be regarded as an admixture;
(e) up to 0.5% of seed of lupines (Lupinus spp.), field peas (Pisum sativum), field beans (Vicia faba) and vetches (Vicia spp.) within the seed of
other relevant species shall not be regarded as an admixture as a whole;
(f) the specified maximum weight in percentage of seed of one species shall not apply to meadow grass (Poa spp.) seeds;
(g) number of seed shall not be specified for sorrels (Rumex spp.), except sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella) and golden dock (Rumex maritimus), if
there is no doubt that the requirements of Col. 15 have been observed;
(h) the number of lupine seed of other colour shall not exceed 2% in the bitter lupine content, and 1% in the content of other lupines;
(i) if the total of meadow grass (Poa spp.) seed does not exceed 80, this shall not be regarded as an admixture;
(j) the requirement specified in col. 7 shall not apply to meadow grass seed. The maximum number of seed of other meadow grass species in total
shall not exceed one in a sample of 500 seeds;
