New Zealand Services

Australian Services

The Seed Bureau carries out all administration work for the New Zealand seed certification scheme. AsureQuality's crop inspectors undertake field inspections to check for contamination from 'off-type' varieties, isolation from similar species and varietal purity. If all criteria are met, AsureQuality supply the official field labels that form part of the Certification process - sealing the seed line and enabling traceability.
