Apples for industrial processing are excluded.,2. PROVISIONS CONCERNING QUALITY,2.1 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS,In all classes, subject to the special provisions for each class and the tolerances allowed, the apples,must be:,- whole, the stalk (stem) may be missing, provided the break is clean and the adjacent skin is not,damaged;,- sound, produce affected by rotting or deterioration such as to make it unfit for consumption is,excluded;,- firm1;,- clean, practically free of any visible foreign matter;,- practically free of pests and damage caused by them affecting the general appearance of the produce;,- free of abnormal external moisture, excluding condensation following removal from cold storage;,- free of any foreign smell and/or taste;,- free of damage caused by low and/or high temperatures;,- practically free of signs of dehydration.,2.1.1 The apples must have colour that is characteristic of the variety and the area in which they are grown.,The development and condition of the apples must be such as to enable them:,- to withstand transport and handling; and,- to arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.,2.2 MATURITY REQUIREMENTS,Apples must be at a stage of development that enables them to continue the ripening process and to,reach a stage of ripeness required in relation to the varietal characteristics.,In order to verify the minimum maturity requirements some parameters such as: morphological,aspects, firmness and refractometric index can be considered.,2.3 CLASSIFICATION,In accordance with the defects allowed in the Annex - Maximum Allowance for Defects, apples are,classified in three classes defined below:,2.3.1 “Extra” Class,Apples in this class must be of superior quality. The flesh must be sound. They must be characteristic,of the variety. They must be free of defects, with the exception of very slight superficial defects, provided,these do not affect the general appearance of the produce, the quality, the keeping quality and presentation in,the package2.,1 Firmness in this context is used to indicate an appropriate level of maturity of the fruit rather than a stage of,ripening and it is acknowledged to vary according to apple varieties.,2 Skin and other defects must not exceed the limits as defined in the Annex.,CODEX STAN 299 Page 2 of 6,2.3.2 Class I,Apples in this class must be of good quality.

PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZING,Size is determined by maximum diameter of the equatorial section or by weight of each apple.,For all varieties and all classes the minimum size is 60 mm if measured by diameter or 90 g if,measured by weight. Fruit of smaller sizes may be accepted provided the Brix level of the produce meets or,exceeds 10.5° Brix and the size is not smaller than 50 mm or 70 g.,4. PROVISIONS CONCERNING TOLERANCES,Tolerances in respect of quality and size shall be allowed in each lot for produce not satisfying the,requirements of the class indicated.,4.1 QUALITY TOLERANCES,The application of the following tolerances should take into accounts that at stages following export;,products may show in relation to the requirements of the standard:,- a slight lack of freshness and turgidity;,- for products graded in classes other than the “Extra” Class, a slight deterioration due to their,development and the……
