According to the regulation, the Buyer is responsible for conducting laboratory tests to ensure that the lots meet the conditions for approval.Please see Appendix 2 – The Buyer’s requirement specifications – for further details.Main features of the procedureThe estimated yearly budget of this contract is set to 1 million NOK a year. This all depends on changes in the annual budget, political changes and other national and international guidelines.Tenders shall be submitted for the following analyses:Virus test (post harvest test): ScopeThe seed potato lots are to be tested for virus. Annually 90-110 samples shall be tested for PVY and PVA. Approximately 140-150 samples shall be tested only for PVY.
