·       THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS ARE OPTIONAL FOR CLASS II.
·       TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY IN SIZE: o   FOR FRUIT SIZED BY DIAMETER, THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE BETWEEN THE SMALLEST AND THE LARGEST FRUIT IN THE SAME PACKAGE SHALL NOT EXCEED: §  5 MM FOR FRUIT BELOW 70 MM §  10 MM FOR FRUIT OF 70 MM AND MORE. §  IF SIZE CODES ARE APPLIED, THOSE IN THE TABLE BELOW HAVE TO BE RESPECTED.
·       FOR FRUIT SIZED BY WEIGHT, THE DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT BETWEEN THE LIGHTEST AND THE HEAVIEST FRUITS IN THE SAME PACKAGE SHALL NOT EXCEED: §  30 G FOR FRUIT BELOW 180 G §  80 G FOR FRUIT OF 180 G AND MORE. §  IF SIZE CODES ARE APPLIED, THOSE IN THE TABLE BELOW HAVE TO BE RESPECTED.

·       ALTHOUGH SIZE CODES ARE USED FOR FRUIT SIZED BOTH BY DIAMETER AND WEIGHT THERE IS NO CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE TWO METHODS (I.E. IF A FRUIT THAT HAS BEEN SIZED
·       AA BY DIAMETER, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS WEIGHT MUST BE FROM 180 TO 220 GRAMS)
·       FOR FRUIT SIZED BY COUNT, THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH (A) OR (B).
