Article 7U.K.Classification and weighing
1.The classification referred to in points A.II, A.III, B.II, C.II and C.III of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall be carried out in the slaughterhouse at the time of determining the warm weight of the carcass.
2.The [F1appropriate authority] may authorise classification before weighing in accordance with Article 11 of this Regulation if certain grading methods applied in the territory of a [F2constituent nation] require this.
3.The carcasses shall be weighed as soon as possible after slaughter and not later than:
(a)60 minutes after the animal has been stuck, as regards bovine animals and sheep;
(b)45 minutes after the animal has been stuck, as regards pigs.
4.In the case of pigs, if in a given slaughterhouse, the 45-minute time period between the sticking and the weighing of the carcasses cannot generally be observed, the competent authority F3... may allow that the deduction of 2 % as referred to in Article 14(3):
(a)shall be reduced by 0,1 per cent units for every additional quarter of an hour or part thereof that has elapsed when the period between sticking and weighing exceeds the 45 minutes;
(b)can be increased by certain per cent units established by the [F4appropriate authority] when the period between sticking and weighing is shorter than 45 minutes. In this case the deduction shall be justified on the basis of scientific data.
5.In cases where beef or sheep automated grading methods referred to in Article 10 fail to classify carcasses, classification of these carcasses shall take place on the day of slaughter or, if the required period between sticking and weighing has expired on the day after the slaughter, classification shall take place as soon as possible on that day.
