Division III PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZINGF1

Size is determined by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section, by weight or by count.

The following provisions shall not apply to trusses of tomatoes and are optional for:

• cherry and cocktail tomatoes below 40 mm in diameter;

• ribbed tomatoes of irregular shape; and

• Class II.

To ensure uniformity in size, the range in size between produce in the same package shall not exceed:

1. (a)

   For tomatoes sized by diameter:

   • 10 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is under 50 mm,

   • 15 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 50 mm and over but under 70 mm,

   • 20 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 70 mm and over but under 100 mm,

   • there is no limitation of difference in diameter for fruit equal or over 100 mm.

   In case size codes are applied, the codes and ranges in the following table have to be respected:

   Size code	Diameter (mm)
   0	≤ 20
   1	> 20 ≤ 25
   2	> 25 ≤ 30
   3	> 30 ≤ 35
   4	> 35 ≤ 40
   5	> 40 ≤ 47
   6	> 47 ≤ 57
   7	> 57 ≤ 67
   8	> 67 ≤ 82
   9	> 82 ≤ 102
   10	> 102

2. (b)

   For tomatoes sized by weight or by count, the difference in size should be consistent with the difference indicated in point (a).
