During this time the samples are judged for their authenticity, viruses, mutations, phytosanitary defects and other anomalies. The inspection results in a provisional classification that helps to determine the further classification. It is not possible to upgrade the provisional classification during the field inspection.

A good-quality purification for the field inspection is needed after the planting inspection, because the field-inspection standards are more stringent for each class.
