If the distribution of germplasm in 1994 was 10% of the stored accessions or more, the standard
of distribution was judged as good quality standard. A basic quality standard is defined by less
than 10% but more than 3% of the stored accessions. If the conservation facilities distributed less
than 3% of their stored material, their quality standard is defined as poor.
