As global seed trade, variety breeding, and seed quality regulation continue to advance, seed laboratories are increasingly developing toward standardization, digitalization, and automation. Whether serving the Southeast Asian market, the Russian market, or research breeding and commercial seed testing in Europe and North America, laboratory construction must be based on internationally recognized standards to ensure accurate and globally accepted testing results.

Among these standards, the ISTA Rules established by the International Seed Testing Association have become an important foundation for global seed quality testing and a key reference system for building standardized seed laboratories.
