6.1 Categories of Characteristics
6.1.1 Standard Test Guidelines Characteristics
Standard Test Guidelines characteristics are those which are approved by UPOV for examination of DUS and from which members of the Union can select those suitable for their particular circumstances.
6.1.2 Asterisked Characteristics
Asterisked characteristics (denoted by *) are those included in the Test Guidelines which are important for the international harmonization of variety descriptions and should always be examined for DUS and included in the variety description by all members of the Union, except when the state of expression of a preceding characteristic or regional environmental conditions render this inappropriate.
6.2 States of Expression and Corresponding Notes
6.2.1 States of expression are given for each characteristic to define the characteristic and to harmonize descriptions. Each state of expression is allocated a corresponding numerical note for ease of recording of data and for the production and exchange of the description.
6.2.2 In the case of qualitative and pseudo qualitative characteristics (see Chapter 6.3), all relevant states of expression are presented in the characteristic. However, in the case of quantitative characteristics with 5 or more states, an abbreviated scale may be used to minimize the size of the Table of Characteristics. For example, in the case of a quantitative characteristic with 9 states, the presentation of states of expression in the Test Guidelines may be abbreviated as follows:
State
|
Note
|
small
|
3
|
medium
|
5
|
large
|
7
|
However, it should be noted that all of the following 9 states of expression exist to describe varieties and should be used as appropriate:
State
|
Note
|
very small
|
1
|
very small to small
|
2
|

|
3
|

|

5
|

|
6
|

|
7
|

|
8
|

|

|
6.2.3 Further explanation of the presentation of states of expression and notes is provided in document TGP/7 “Development of Test Guidelines”.
6.3 Types of Expression
An explanation of the types of expression of characteristics (qualitative, quantitative and pseudo qualitative) is provided in the General Introduction.
6.4 Example Varieties
6.4.1 Where appropriate, example varieties are provided to clarify the states of expression of each characteristic.
6.4.2 Type of example varieties:
(F) Fiber variety
(O) Oil variety
