Bulk Handling Act Regulations 1967

Where the grower or his representative requires that the determination of grade shall be made by an officer at an office of the Company nominated by it, he shall —

complete a Form 2 in duplicate; and

as soon as it is practicable deliver the completed form in duplicate to the officer at the point where the grain was tendered.

Where a grower or his representative complies with the provisions of subregulation (1) the officer at the point where the grain is tendered shall —

in the presence of the grower or his representative —

draw a representative sample of not less than 2 litres;

divide the said sample into 2 equal sub‑samples and

seal each sub‑sample with one copy of the Form 2 in a sample bag supplied by the Company;

fasten securely to each of the sample bags an address label showing the date, the type of grain, the name of the grower, the name of the receival point and the letters “S.P.C.”;

send one sub‑sample to the office of the Company nominated by it; and

retain the other sub‑sample at the receival point; and

where a weighbridge ticket is issued, mark it or cause it to be marked with the letters “S.P.C.” in the space provided for marking the grade of the grain.

On receipt of a sub‑sample sent to the office pursuant to subregulation (2)(c) an officer of the Company shall examine it and assess the grade or, at his discretion, require the sub‑sample retained at the receival point to be forwarded and may make his assessment on the basis of either or both of the sub‑samples.
