After demonstrating a need for change, proposed changes
						in the maturity standards may be initiated by the director, by the California
						Avocado Commission, or by the Avocado Inspection Committee. Such need shall be
						based upon scientific test data generated or reviewed and approved by a

(b) When freezing damage is not evident from
					 the outside appearance of the avocados in a lot, the following method shall be
					 used:
(1) When five containers or less are
					 selected, inspect 10 avocados which have been selected at random from all
					 containers in the sample. If one of these fruits is considered rejectable under
					 Sections 1408.5 and
					 1408.7 of the California
					 Administrative Code, inspect an additional 10 avocados selected from the same
					 containers in the same manner. When more than 5 percent, by count, of these 20

					 from all containers in the sample. When more than 5 percent, by count, of these
					 20 fruits are considered rejectable, the lot shall be considered in
					 violation.
(3) When avocados have
					 been sized, each size must be tested as a separate lot; when not sized, test
					 large, medium and small fruits as separate lots.
