The pod shatter ratings system developed by the Canadian canola industry rates cultivars relative to two designated checks, 45H33 and L255PC, which anchor the numerical/descriptive claim based on seed provider data.

They do not represent the exact amounts of seeds that could shatter out, but rather the relative trend in shatter risk.
