Abstract
The role of the Pacific Forest Research Centre, in its function as a member station authorized by the International Seed Testing Association to issue official certificates of seed quality, is described for the period 1978-1982. International Seed Analysis Certificates for 349 seedlots, representing over 10 000 kg at a market value estimated to be between $2-3 million (Canadian), have been issued. Interrelationships with the OECD Scheme for certification of tree seeds are also discussed.
