Test Guidelines drafting tool (UPOV TG Template)

What is the UPOV TG Template?

A Test Guideline is a UPOV document that sets international standards by providing guidance and best practices for conducting plant variety testing for different crops. UPOV has developed an online tool, called the “TG Template”, that helps prepare test guidelines.

The UPOV TG template implements the principles set forth in document TGP/7 Development of Test Guidelines.

This is the first item’s accordion body. It is shown by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It’s also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the .accordion-body, though the transition does limit overflow.
