Understand the operator’s role

A business may breed plants, propagate them, source material or distribute it. For each quality or provenance claim, ask which operator and activity it describes. A registered office does not establish the production site.

Ask for three useful details

Request the batch identifier, propagation site and contact for follow-up. For external testing, ask what the assessment covered. Find out how discrepancies or subsequent corrections are recorded.

Example of a precise enquiry

‘Who propagated this batch, where did it happen, and what record links those facts to the batch identifier?’ This invites verifiable details and makes it easier to compare answers.
