scope:

This standard describes molecular tools generating molecular profiles for varieties of plant species enabling varietal identification, i.e. confirmation of identity in relation to one or more reference(s). This document applies to different matrices, such as seeds, leaves, roots, by-products, industrial products etc. The matrices presented in the form of mixtures of several indivisible individuals (such as purees, compotes, flours, etc.) are excluded from the scope of this document. This standard does not deal with genetic purity.
