§ 1462.6. Plums and Fresh Prunes, Tolerances.
(a) Not more than 10 percent, by count, of the plums or fresh prunes in any one container or bulk lot may be below the requirements which are prescribed by this article, but not to exceed one-half of this tolerance shall be allowed for any one cause. Individual containers in any lot may, however, contain not more than 1 ½ times the tolerances which are specified if the percentage of defects of the entire lot averages within the tolerances.
(b) In addition to the tolerance specified for any one cause, containers of plums or fresh prunes which are conspicuously marked “hail marked” shall be permitted a tolerance of 10 percent for hail damage, provided that no hail mark permitted under such additional tolerance may exceed ⅜ inch in depth, or exceed an aggregate area of ¾ inch in diameter. Individual containers shall not have more than 17 ½ percent hail damage (7 ½ percent for any one cause plus 10 percent under the additional tolerance).
