Relevant Accreditation Documents for the Accreditation of laboratories for the testing of specified traits under a performance based approach
During the Ordinary Meeting 2005 in Bangkok, Thailand, the proposed new version of the ISTA Rules Chapter 8 was adopted by the ISTA voting delegates after an intensive discussion during the Ordinary Meeting. The Ordinary Meeting gave the Executive Committee of the Association the mandate to finalise the relevant accreditation documents in all details and decided that the new version of Chapter 8 will come into force 6 months after the publication of these relevant accreditation documents.
After intensive discussions on the level of the Executive Committee, this process could be finalised on July 29, 2005.
 
Consequently, the new version of Chapter 8 of the ISTA Rules will come into force on February 1, 2006.  From that date on it will be possible for laboratories to become ISTA accredited for the testing of seeds with specified traits under the performance based approach.
 
 
Relevant accreditation documents:
Principles and Conditions for Laboratory Accreditation under the performance based approach
Performance data evaluation for the presence of seeds with specified traits in seed lots
Performance Data Evaluation for Specified Trait Purity
The ISTA Seed Testing Laboratory Accreditation Standard
