(i) Temperature--no more than 60F (see TDS for specific
requirement, which may vary).
(j)
Underweight eggs--no more than 3.3 percent.
(7) Compare inspection results with individual case requirements.
A listing of individual case tolerances follows.
(a) A quality or better--no less than 72 percent per case.
(b) B quality--no more than 18 percent per case (includes B*).
(c)
Checks--no more than ten percent per case.
(d)
Underweight eggs--no more than 5% per case.
(e) Net weight--no less than 39.50 pounds per case (medium eggs) or
45.00 pounds per case (large eggs).
(f) Temperature--no more than 65F (see TDS for specific
requirement, which may vary).
(8) Complete verification of inspection results OR circle all
nonconformances. After the inspection results are compared with the requirements and
there are no tolerances that are exceeded, the verification of inspection results is
completed. However, if tolerances are exceeded, they must be circled. The specific
case average from the lot average must be circled and also the specific quality that was
exceeded, from the individual sample case.
(9) Inspect second set of samples, if there are nonconformances. If there
are any nonconformances in the initial sample, draw additional samples in accordance
with USDA requirements (shown in figure 2-5) and inspect the second set of samples.
The first set of samples is already recorded. The second set of samples is recorded in
the space below them. The steps in the verification of results of shell egg inspection are
repeated, steps one hrough eight.

PREPARATION OF THE FRONT SIDE OF THE DD FORM 1237
a. General Information. A separate DD Form 1237 must be completed for
each size and each grade of shell eggs received. The front side (see figure 4-5) is
completed only when there are nonconformances to be reported. On the front side, all
spaces must be filled in. NA (not applicable) may be used when necessary. All
nonconformances are circled in Block 17a. All blocks must be completed clearly,
concisely, and correctly. Remember that the report goes to someone who has only the
completed DD Form 1237 to make decisions by.
