2.5.5 Grain Outturn - Domestic All handling and transport equipment is inspected prior to moving grain to ensure: • It is of an adequate standard; and • It will not compromise the integrity or quality of the grain to be moved. Prior to and during outturn: • Quality requirements of the customer are known, and stock is selected based on meeting those requirements; • Representative samples are taken, and grain is physically inspected to ensure its quality has been maintained whilst in storage; . • Representative samples obtained are retained for a suitable period. A documented sampling, testing and sample retention procedure ensures staff are aware of requirements; • As required, representative samples are taken according to requirements of the National Residue Survey; • Transport units loaded with grain are to comply with relevant weight limits and other transport regulatory requirements; • Where grain weight is assessed, it is determined on a Registered Weighbridge or other approved weighing device; and • Suitable documentation (e.g., CVD) is supplied with the outturned grain to identify its quality and integrity. 2.5.6 Grain Outturn - Export Grain may be exported in bags, containers or bulk. Documented procedures apply to each type of export operation. All export premises, grain handling equipment, pathways and processes must meet any regulatory requirements, including those stipulated by DAFF. Documented procedures are to be maintained at the export premises relating to a range of procedures including but not limited to storage and grain pathway hygiene, grain sampling, grain testing and sample retention. Grain sampling, testing and records as appropriate are used to confirm appropriate stock is selected and loaded and it will meet customer and regulatory requirements. Grain loading may commence: • Once the empty vessel (e.g., bulk vessel, container or bag) is deemed fit to load,as per the DAFF Guideline23, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority requirements for domestic commercial vessel inspections24, and any other relevant regulations and requirements; • If grain pathways and the empty vessel have been inspected and it is determined they do not to contain any material that may adversely impact on the quality and quarantine status of the grain to be loaded; and • Once the quality of grain accumulated is known. No grain is to be loaded unless the quality is known. 15 23 https://www.agriculture.gov.au/sites/default/files/sitecollectiondocuments/biosecurity/export/plants-plantproducts/plant-exportsmanual/guideline-empty-bulk-vessels-export.pdf and https://www.agriculture.gov.au/sites/ default/files/documents/guideline-inspectionempty-containers-for-plant-exports.pdf 24 https://www.amsa.gov.au/vessels-operators/domestic-commercial-vessels/domestic-commercial-vessel-inspections
