This is the original version (as it was originally made).
1. If the particle size of the animal by-products to be rendered is more than 20 millimetres, the animal by-products must be reduced in size using equipment specified in the licence, set so that the particle size after reduction is no greater than 20 millimetres or such smaller size as the licence shall specify. The effectiveness of the equipment must be checked daily and its condition recorded. If checks disclose the existence of particles larger than is permitted in the licence, the process must be stopped and repairs made before the process is resumed.
2. After reduction the animal by-products must be heated until they coagulate and then pressed so that fat and water are removed from the proteinaceous material. The proteinaceous material shall then be heated to a core temperature greater than 80°C for at least 120 minutes and a core temperature greater than 100°C for at least 60 minutes.
3. The rendering may be carried out in batch or continuous systems.
4. The animal by-products may be cooked such that the time-temperature requirements are achieved at the same time.
