|---|---|
| 5 000 or less | 3 |
| 5 001-10 000 | 4 |
| 10 001-15 000 | 5 |

- 1.
The average weight per box or block shall be determined per species using the sampling plan in the table below and, where appropriate, by presentation. The sample shall be selected randomly.
- 2.
Each pallet of boxes or blocks shall be weighed. The total gross weight of all pallets in the sample shall be divided by the total number of pallets in the sample to arrive at the average gross weight per pallet per species and, where appropriate, by presentation.
- 3.
In order to arrive at the net weight per box or block per species and, where appropriate, by presentation the following deductions shall be made from the average gross weight of the pallets of the sample referred to in point 2:
- (a)
the average tare weight per box or block equal to the weight of ice and cardboard, plastic or other packaging material multiplied by the number of boxes or blocks on the pallet;
- (b)
the average weight of empty pallets from the sample as used in the landing.
The resulting net weight per pallet per species and, where appropriate, by presentation shall then be divided by the number of boxes on the pallet.
- (a)
- 4.
The tare weight per box or block referred to in point 3(a) shall be 1,5 kg. F1A fisheries administration may use a different tare weight per box or block.
