Textual Amendments

F1Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 939/2010 of 20 October 2010 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 on permitted tolerances for the compositional labelling of feed materials or compound feed as referred to in Article 11(5) (Text with EEA relevance).

[F2Part A: Tolerances for the analytical constituents set out in Annexes I, V, VI and VII U.K.

(1) The tolerances laid down in this Part include technical and analytical deviations. Once analytical tolerances covering measurement uncertainties and procedural variations are fixed F3..., the values set in point 2 should be adapted accordingly in order to cover only the technical tolerances. U.K.

F2Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2279 of 11 December 2017 amending Annexes II, IV, VI, VII and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the placing on the market and use of feed (Text with EEA relevance).

Part B: U.K. Tolerances for feed additives labelled according to Annexes I, V, VI and VII

1. The tolerances laid down in this Part include technical deviation only. They shall apply to feed additives in the list of feed additives and in the list of analytical constituents. U.K.

As regards feed additives listed as analytical constituents, the tolerances shall apply to the total amount labelled as the guaranteed quantity at the end of the minimum storage life of the feed.

Where the content of a feed additive in a feed material or compound feed is found to be below the declared content, the following tolerances shall apply (1) :

(a)

10 % of the declared content if the declared content is 1 000 units or more;

(b)

100 units if the declared content is less than 1 000 units but not less than 500 units;

(c)

20 % of the declared content if the declared content is less than 500 units but not less than 1 unit;

(d)

0,2 units if the declared content is less than 1 unit but not less than 0,5 units;

(e)

40 % of the declared content if the declared content is less than 0,5 units.

2. Where a minimum and/or a maximum content of an additive in a feed is laid down in the respective authorisation act for that feed additive, the technical tolerances laid down in point 1 shall only apply above a minimum content or below a maximum content, where appropriate. U.K.

3. As long as the fixed maximum content of an additive as referred to in point 2 is not exceeded, the deviation above the declared content may go up to three times the tolerance laid down in point 1. However, if for feed additives belonging to the group of micro-organisms a maximum content is laid down in the respective authorising act for that feed additive, the maximum content shall constitute the upper permitted value.] U.K.

(1)

[F11 unit in this point means 1 mg, 1 000 IU, 1 × 10 ⁹ CFU or 100 enzyme activity units of the respective feed additive per kg feed, as appropriate.]
