The inspector shall, at his discretion, use the sample collected by the mechanical sample selector, or a representative sample may be drawn from boxes, trucks, bins, conveyors or distributing belts, or by both methods. Official samples shall consist of not less than five grapefruit, ten oranges, ten of each of the hybrids of citrus fruit, or fifteen tangerines. If the color break requirement if fulfilled and a composite test of the samples shows the fruit in the lot to be mature, a maturity certificate shall be issued by the inspector. While this section requires the running of only one test, it shall not prevent the running of additional tests if, in the opinion of the inspector, additional tests may be necessary to prevent the processing of immature fruit.
