Hermetically sealed containers

A container will be considered hermetically sealed if all of the following conditions have been met: 1. The seed was packaged within nine months after harvest. 2. The container used does not allow water vapor penetration through any wall, including the seals, greater than five-hundredths grams of water per twenty-four hours per one hundred square inches [645.16 square centimeters] of surface at one hundred degrees Fahrenheit [37.78 degrees Celsius] with a relative humidity on one side of ninety percent and on the other side of zero percent. Water vapor penetration shall be measured as: gram water / twenty-four hour / one hundred degrees Fahrenheit / ninety percent relative humidity versus zero percent relative humidity. 3. The seed in the container does not exceed the percentage of moisture, on a wet basis, as listed in section 201-36c-c of the rules and regulations of the Federal Seed Act. 4. The container is conspicuously labeled in not less than nine point type to indicate: a. That the container is hermetically sealed; b. That the seed has been preconditioned as to moisture content; and c. The calendar month and year in which the germination test was completed. 5. The percentage of germination of vegetable seed at the time of packaging was equal to or above the standards in section 201.31 of the rules and regulations of the Federal Seed Act which pertains to germination standards for vegetable seeds.
