An inspection sample shall (a) in the case of containers, excluding bulk containers, be drawn from each container obtained in accordance with item 15 and shall, in the case of (i) containers with 50 apples or less, consist of the entire contents of the container; or {ii) containers with more than 50 apples, consist of 50 apples drawn at random from the container; (b) in the case of bulk containers, be obtained by randomly drawing three quantities of 50 apples each, respectively from the middle and two opposite corners, from each bulk container obtained in accordance with item 15; and G09-099090-B 10 No.32254 (c) GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29 MAY 2009 for the determination of uniformity in size, in the case of apples (i) packed in layers, with or without trays, be obtained by randomly drawing a single layer of apples from each container obtained in accordance with item 15; and (ii) packed in any packaging consists of the entire contents of each container obtained in accordance with item 15. Deviating sample 17. If an inspector should notice during the process of drawing the random sample or during the inspection, that some of the containers derived from any part of the pallet load, truck load or consignment, contain apples which are noticeably inferior to or differ from the contents of containers which represent the remainder of the pallet load, truck load or consignment, the inspection result shall only be based on the containers derived from the deviating portion of the pallet load, truck load or consignment, and further samples required for inspection shall be drawn from this deviating portion. METHOD OF INSPECTION Determination of the external appearance, condition and size 18. For the purpose of analysis in respect of external appearance, condition and size, the whole sample drawn in accordance with regulation 15, shall be used. Determination of uniformity in size 19. The uniformity in size of apples in the same container is determined by: (a) Selecting the 10 apples from the sample drawn in regulation 15 which prominently displays the greatest difference in diameter. (b) Tabulating the diameter of the 10 apples in one millimetre grading. ( c) If three or more apples per any count in a sample of 10 apples drawn, do not comply with the variation in diameter, the count or counts shall be deemed not to be suitable. Determination of internal quality defects including core rot 20. The internal quality defects of apples shall be determined by selecting 10 apples in the sample drawn in terms of regulation 15, which in the opinion of the inspector are those most likely to have been affected and by bisecting them on their equatorial axes and calculating the number of such apples affected, as a percentage of the total number of apples selected. Determination of minimum ripeness 21. The minimum ripeness for apples shall be determined as follows: (i) Take as working sample 10 apples at random from the inspection sample obtained in accordance with sub-regulation 16(a). (ii) Cover the cut surface of one half of each of the 10 bisected apples evenly with an iodine solution of one per cent. {iii) Leave the apple halves for at least one minute before the results are recorded. {iv) Determine the percentage surface of each of the apple halves which did not turn black in colour. (v) Add up the percentage obtained from all the apple halves and divide the figure by the number of readings. I l l I j J l j l ) j I STAATSKOERANT, 29 MEI 2009 No. 32254 11 (vi) Compare the results obtained In subparagraph (Iv) with the minimum requirements in Table 3 for the particular cultivar. (vii) The inspection sample shall be regarded as mature if the starch content of the apples at least comply with the minimum average percentage starch conversion for the cultivar concerned, as set out in Table 3. Determination of minimum diameter size 22. (a) The minimum diameter size of apples shall be determined by using a suitable calibrated apparatus with round openings of which the diameter coincides with the minimum diameter prescribed in item (d) in Table 1. (b) The minimum size shall be determined as follows: (i) Take as working sample the apples that noticeably appear to be the smallest in diameter from the inspection sample obtained in accordance with regulation 16(a). (ii) Place the apples of the cultivar concerned gently, one after the other, with their stems facing upwards on the corresponding opening of the apparatus mentioned In paragraph (a). (iii) If an apple falls through the prescribed size of the opening through the action of its own gravity, the apple is deemed to be too small. (iv) Calculate the number of apples thus found to be too small as a percentage of the total number of apples in the inspection sample. Determination of minimum and maximum weight 23. (a) The minimum weight of apples shall be determined by using a suitable calibrated balance. (b) The minimum weight shall be determined as follows: (i) Take as working sample the apples that noticeably appear to be the smallest/largest from the inspection sample obtained in accordance with subitem 16(a). (ii) Place each apple of the working sample gently, individually one after the other, on the balance mentioned in (a). (iii) If an apple weighs less than the prescribed minimum weight, the apple is deemed to be too small. (iv) Calculate the number of apples thus found to be too small/large as a percentage of the total number of apples in the inspection sample. Determination of over-maturltyloverrfpeness 24. (a) Overripeness of all apple cultivars in a consignment shall be determined with a handheld penetrometer or a penetrometer mounted on a drill stand with a plunger of 11,2 millimeter in diameter. (b) Overripeness shall be determined as follows: (i) Take as working sample 1 O apples at random from the inspection sample obtained in accordance with subitem 16(a): Provided that such apples shall be free from defects such as sunburn and pests or disease damage, which may have affected the normal ripening process. (ii) Remove a thin slice of skin from opposite sides of each apple. 12 No. 32254 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29 MAY 2009 (iii) Hold the apple firm with one hand: Provided that if a handheld penetrometer is used, your hand should rest on a rigid surface. (iv) Zero the penetrometer and place the plunger head of 11,2 millimeter in diameter on the spot Where the skin was removed. (V) Apply steady downward pressure on the penetrometer until the plunger has penetrated the flesh of the apple up to the depth mark of the plunger. (vi) Remove the plunger and note the reading on the penetrometer, to one decimal. (vii) Repeat the process on the opposite slide of the same apple after first zeroing the penetrometer. (viii) Calculate the average of the two pressure readings of each apple. (c) The apples shall not be regarded as overripe, if they conform to the minimum pressure readings for the cultivar concerned as set out in Table 3. OFFENCE AND PENAL TIES 25. Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with the provisions of these regulations, shall be guilty of an offence and may upon conviction be liable to a fine or to imprisonment in terms of section 11 of Act No. 119 of 1990.
