ISO 13495:2013规定了用于生成植物物种品种的分子图谱的分子工具，以实现品种识别，即确认与一个或多个参考文献相关的身份。 ISO 13495:2013适用于仅由一个品种组成的各种基质、种子、叶、根、工业产品。以各种混合物（如果泥、果酱、面粉）形式呈现的基质不在ISO 13495:2013的范围内。它不涉及基因纯度。

ISO 13495:2013 specifies molecular tools for generating molecular profiles of varieties of plant species, enabling varietal identification, i.e. confirmation of identity in relation to one or more references. ISO 13495:2013 is applicable to various matrices, seeds, leaves, roots, industrial products composed of only one variety. Matrices presented in the form of mixtures of varieties (such as purees, compotes, flours) are excluded from the scope of ISO 13495:2013. It does not deal with genetic purity.
