# The Seed Potatoes Regulations 1991, Regulation 14: Basic and certified seed potatoes: sealing of packages


(1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this regulation and to regulations 16 and 21, no person shall market a package or container of basic seed potatoes or certified seed potatoes unless it is sealed with an unbroken sealing device.
(2) Where a sealing device on a package or container is broken, the package or container shall not be re-sealed with a sealing device otherwise than by or under the supervision of an authorised officer.
(3) For the purposes of this regulation a “sealing device” means a device applied in such a manner to a package or container that when the package or container is opened the device will be broken. An official label with a punched tie hole which is machine stitched into the mouth of a bag does not constitute a “sealing device”.
