The quality and safety of wheat are checked against 19 criteria, such as color, smell, moisture, Falling Number, the composition of impurities of seeds, and weed vegetation.

All studies are carried out in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia dated 08.09.2021 No. 611 "On approval of the list of consumer properties of grain produced in the territory of the Russian Federation for the purposes of grain state monitoring."
