15 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is ≥ 60 mm but < 80 mm
20 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is ≥ 80 mm but < 110 mm

Uniformity in size is achieved by the above-mentioned size scales, unless otherwise stated as follows:
For fruit in bulk bins and fruit in sales packages of a maximum net weight of 5 kg, the maximum difference must not exceed the range obtained by grouping three consecutive sizes in the size scale.
(c)For fruit sized by count, the difference in size should be consistent with (a).
