Short title and application :- (1) These rules may be called the Rice (Grading and Marking) Rules, 1939. (2) They shall apply to rice of specified varieties grown in India as set out in the annexed Schedules. 2. Grade designations :- Grade designations to indicate the quality of rice of specified varieties grown in India are set out in the first column of the relevant Schedules. 3. Definition of quality :- [(1) The rice of all varieties specified in the Schedules annexed to these rules shall consist of well hulled rice in good condition cleaned (sifted), free from paddy and reasonably dry (moisture content not exceeding 13 per cent)]. (2) The special characteristics of quality indicated by the grade designations are set out in columns 2 to 12 of the relevant Schedule. (3) The general characteristics of the quality of the rice of each specified variety are set out in column 13 of the relevant Schedule. 4. Grade designation marks :- The grade designation mark shall consist of label bearing a design (consisting of an outline map of India in conjunction with the word AGMARK) resembling that set out in Schedule I, specifying the grade designation and of the following Colour- 5. Method of marking :- The grade designation mark label shall be securely attached to each container. In addition to the grade designation mark the following particulars shall also be clearly marked on the label- (a) year of harvest. (b) net weight, (c) name of paker, (d) date of packing. 6. Method of packings :- (1) The rice shall be packed in containers made of ju cotton or paper which are clean, dry and in good sound condition. Containers which have been previously used for commodities likely to cause damage or impart a obnoxious flavour, odour or other undesirable characteristics to the rice shall not employed. (2) Each container shall contain only goods of the crop year specified and of grade designation only.
