5.1.2 Pre-Examination Trial Agreement (PETA)
Date Published
After a PBR application is accepted, the examiner will send a Pre-Examination Trial Agreement (PETA) form to the Qualified Person (QP) who will manage the variety in the field trial. This agreement establishes a single point of contact with the PBR Office. In this agreement, QPs will be requested to provide comprehensive information on how they propose to conduct the trial. The nominated examiner will review the information and agreement will be reached between the QP and the nominated examiner around key issues such as the trial date, location, trial set-up and agreed comparators. QPs and applicants can raise concerns with the Chief of PBR if no agreement can be reached.
