Bean D: Minimum requirement when mold/mildew encircles the hilum.
Bean E: Mold/mildew covering the hilum and must be completely covered.
Bean F: Surface mold which discolors the seed coat. Illustrated is the minimum intensity and coverage requirement (proportional to the size of bean being considered).
