CVD forms: • Are routinely used in the grain supply chain on receipt of grain from a producer or during the transfer of ownership within the trade; • Must include details of: - Variety - Chemical residue status - GM status of the grain; • May include details of the quality status of the grain; • Contain information that is used by the buyer or handler of the grain to confirm the status of the grain and to verify the grain meets regulations and/or market requirements; • Are only to be provided where information documented can be supported by records or other suitable means; • May only be completed by approved persons; and • Are actively transferred by industry along the supply chain following a change in ownership and movement of grain. 2.5.2 Quality Checks Grain quality checks: • Are carried out from the time grain is harvested and received into storage up to the time: - It is placed on a shipping belt for loading onto a bulk vessel for export; - It is loaded into a container for export; - It is delivered to a domestic enduser; and • Involve assessment of a range of representative samples taken along the supply chain as outlined in 2.5.3 -2.5.6 to ensure customer and regulatory requirements will be met on outturn of that grain for various grain quality parameters. Samples and certification documentation may accompany each grain parcel as it moves through the supply chain. These may be provided by each participant in the supply chain or by independent third parties. 2.5.3 Grain Receival & Segregation (i) Receival Industry preference is for the use of common industry Standards and procedures to sample, test, classify and grade grain. On receival of grain, all commercial storage providers: • Apply industry approved sampling and testing procedures, with any field test methods being equivalent to reference methods where applicable; • Document operational procedures associated with sampling, testing and classification of grain and, where applicable, make these publicly available; • Take representative samples for assessment of grain against Standards; • Classify grain according to industry or end-buyer Standards20; • Conduct assessment and classification of grain at the point of receival, recognising the practical difficulties of this process in certain situations; • Assess individual truckloads or rail wagons or on a composite basis as applicable of all grain tendered for delivery according to those Standards; 13 20 https://graintrade.org.au/grain-trading-standards/
