Increasingly often, buyers are finding it important to know the maturity stage of perennials. To fulfil this request, we want to make supplying this information mandatory as an official quality code. This proposal has been accepted by the VBN Regulations Steering Group.

For the product groups listed below, the grading code S05 (stage of maturity) becomes mandatory from 1 March 2017 at position 4. Use of this code has been recommended for some time now.
