Depending on method of certification of different types of plants the following categories of seeds are determined:
- original;
- elite;
- reproductive (seeds of the first and subsequent reproductions, and also hybrid seeds of the first generation).

Original seeds are the seeds made by the selector of grade or person authorized by it.
Selector of grade are the physical persons or legal entities which created plant grade, ensuring safety of grade and its data entered in the State register of grades.
The instruction about registration of grade is approved by authorized state body in the field of agricultural industry.
Elite seeds are the seeds received from original seeds and conforming to requirements of state standards and other regulatory legal acts in the field of seed farming.
The number of generations of elite seeds determines authorized state body in the field of agricultural industry.
Elite seeds are used for production of reproductive seeds.
Reproductive seeds are seeds of the subsequent generations received from elite seeds.
The number of generations of reproductive seeds is determined by authorized state body in the field of agricultural industry.
Hybrid seeds of the first generation are considered as reproductive seeds.
Depending on heritable properties the following categories of seeds of forest plants are determined: normal, improved and high-quality.
Belonging of seeds of forest plants to the specified categories of seeds of forest plants is determined by authorized state body in the field of agricultural industry.
