Reconditioning will be considered adequate when all the following conditions are met:
a.Not more than one pellet is found upon examination of 20 representative pints.
b.The wheat has been scoured to the extent that examination of representative samples reveals that 50% or more of the kernels show removal of the surface seed coat layers down to the cross cell layer (removal of approximately 20% of the kernel) and practically all the beard is gone.
