§ 1370. Standardization Inspection and Certification by Commissioners.
Inspection certificates, as authorized and identified in Sections 42791 and 42792 of the Food and Agricultural Code, may be written only when:
(a)(1) Each lot to be certified has been completely prepared for sale or shipment; and
(2) When there is room on the vehicle for additional produce, the certificates shall bear, in a conspicuous place, the statement “Not a complete load”; and
(3) Each inspection certificate is prepared in a clear and legible manner by an inspector, and each change or correction is signed by an inspector, and all information on the inspection certificate is accurate; and
(4) A sufficient number of containers from the actual lot to be certified have been inspected to assure the inspector that the lot meets all the requirements; or
(5) When a sufficient number of containers have been inspected in the field or packing house to assure the inspector that the lot to be certified meets all the requirements, in which case the certificate shall bear in a conspicuous place the statement “lot inspection.”
(b) The inspection certificate may indicate:
(1) The vehicle license number only when the lot is completely loaded on the vehicle, or that each container is properly identified by an official stamp placed on each container by or under the supervision of the inspector, stating that the lot complied with the requirements of this group on a specific date. The official stamp of each county must be approved by the Department of Food and Agriculture prior to use. When containers are on pallets or otherwise arranged to cause stamping of each container impractical then all accessible containers shall be stamped.
(2) Indicate the words “lot inspection” when the provisions of Section 1370 (b) cannot be complied with.
