A-3. CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY

A-3.1 Vi.aal and DilDeDsional Characteristics - All the fertilitytesters drawn as under col 2 of Table I shall be first inspected, along withtheir components for visual and dimensional characteristics. A fertilitytester shall be considered as defective if the fertility tester or any of itscomponents fails to meet the requirements for the characteristics underconsideration. If the number of defective fertility testers is less than orequal to the corresponding permissible number of defectives given in col 3of Table 1, the lot shall he declared to have satisfied the requirements forthese characteristics. If, however, the number of defective fertility testersexceed the permissible number, the lot shall be deemed as not conformingto the requirements for these characteristics.

A-3.2 Test. Otber ThaD Visual and DiDieasloDal Characteristic.­The lot having been found satisfactory for visual and dimensionalcharacteristics (SII A-3.1 ) shall be finally tested for tests other than visualand dimensional requirements prescribed under 8. For this a number offertility testers in accordance with col 4 of Table 1 shall be drawn atrandom from those already tested for visual and dimensional characteristics(s" A-3.1 ).
