After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Commission Decision of 14 July 1989 authorizing methods for grading pig carcases in Germany (Only the German text is authentic) (89/471/EEC), ANNEX.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
The assessment method provided for in paragraph 2 is to be used as a method for the grading of pig carcases established on the basis of the values of the measurements obtained by the apparatus Ultrasonic Scanner GE Logiq 200pro.
Every apparatus used in the abattoir must be calibrated and must give values of the measurements equivalent to those of the Ultrasonic Scanner GE Logiq 200pro.]
LMP = 60,98501 – 0,85831•x 1 + 0,16449•x 2
where:
=
the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,
=
the thickness of backfat (including rind) in millimetres, measured at 7 centimetres off the midline of the split carcass, between the second and third last ribs,
=
the thickness of the dorsal muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as x 1 .
This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.]

the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,
fat measure, the minimum thickness of visible fat (including rind) covering the M. glutaeus medius on the midline of the split carcass (mm),
meat measure, measured at the shortest connection between the front (cranial) end of the M. glutaeus medius and the upper (dorsal) edge of the vertebral canal (mm).
This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 50 and 120 kg.]
The ultrasonic data shall comprise measurements of backfat thickness, muscle thickness and related parameters.
The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimates of the percentage of lean meat by using a computer.
