PART 4

Requirements for ceramic articles

Interpretation of this Part
9
In this Part—
a
“ceramic article” means an article, to which Regulation 1935/2004 applies by virtue of its Article 1(2) as read with its Article 1(3), which—
i
is manufactured from a mixture of inorganic materials with a generally high argillaceous or silicate content to which small quantities of organic materials may have been added;
ii
is first shaped with the shape thus obtained having been permanently fixed by firing; and
iii
may be glazed, enamelled and/or decorated; and
b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Limits for lead and cadmium and declaration of compliance
10
1
The quantities of lead and cadmium transferred from a ceramic article must not exceed the limits set out in paragraph (5) as read with paragraphs (4) and (6).
2
Unless it is demonstrated that the materials used to make the ceramic article did not contain lead or cadmium, the quantities of lead and cadmium transferred from a ceramic article must be determined by means of a test, the conditions of which are specified in Schedule 3, using the method of analysis described in Schedule 4.
3
No person may place on the market a ceramic article that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph (1) as read with paragraph (2).
4
Where a ceramic article consists of a vessel fitted with a ceramic lid, the lead or cadmium limits (or both) which may not be exceeded (mg/dm
2
or mg/litre) must be that which applies to the vessel alone. The vessel alone and the inner surface of the lid must be tested separately and under the same conditions. The sum of the two lead or cadmium extraction levels obtained by this method must be related as appropriate to the surface area or the volume of the vessel alone.
5
A ceramic article is to be recognised as satisfying the requirements of these Regulations relating to such articles if the quantities of lead or cadmium (or both) extracted during the test carried out under the conditions laid down in Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 do not exceed the following limits—
| Pb | Cd
Category 1— Articles which cannot be filled and articles which can be filled, the internal depth of which, measured from the lowest point to the horizontal plane passing through the upper rim, does not exceed 25 mm. | 0,8 mg/dm 2 | 0,07 mg/dm 2
Category 2— All other articles which can be filled. | 4,0 mg/l | 0,3 mg/l
Category 3— Cooking ware; packaging and storage vessels having a capacity of more than three litres. | 1,5 mg/l | 0,1 mg/l
6
However, where a ceramic article does not exceed the above quantities by more than 50%, that article is nevertheless to be recognised as satisfying the requirements of these Regulations relating to such articles if at least three other articles with the same shape, dimensions, decoration and glaze are subjected to a test carried out under the conditions laid down in Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 and the average quantities of lead or cadmium (or both) extracted from those articles do not exceed the limits set, with none of those articles exceeding those limits by more than 50%.
10A
1
A person who places on the market a ceramic article which is not yet in contact with foodstuffs must provide a written declaration in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation 1935/2004 to accompany the article at the marketing stages up to and including the retail stage.
2
The declaration must be issued by the manufacturer or by a seller in Great Britain and must contain the information laid down in Schedule 5.
3
A person who manufactures or, in the course of a business, imports into Great Britain a ceramic article must on request make available to an authorised officer appropriate documentation to demonstrate that the ceramic article complies with the migration limits for lead and cadmium set out in regulation 10 including—
a
the results of the analysis carried out,
b
the test conditions, and
c
the name and the address of the laboratory that performed the testing.
4
Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) do not apply in relation to a ceramic article which is second-hand.
5
The documentation specified in paragraph (3)(a), (b) and (c) is not required where documentary evidence is provided to show that the materials used to make the ceramic article did not contain lead or cadmium.

3
The requirements of this paragraph are satisfied if it is proved that—
a
the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of some other person who was not under the control of the accused, or to reliance on information supplied by such a person;
b
either—
i
the accused carried out all such checks of the material or article in question as were reasonable in all the circumstances, or
ii
it was reasonable in all the circumstances for the accused to rely on checks carried out by the person who supplied the accused with that material or article; and
c
the accused did not know and had no reason to suspect at the time the offence was committed that the act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.
4
The requirements of this paragraph are satisfied if the offence is one of placing on the market and it is proved that—
a
the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of some other person who was not under the control of the accused, or to reliance on information supplied by such a person;
b
the placing on the market of which the offence consisted was not done under the name or mark of the accused; and
c
the accused did not know and could not reasonably be expected to know at the time the offence was committed that the act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.
5
If in any case the defence provided by this regulation involves the allegation that the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of another person, or to reliance on information supplied by another person, the accused is not without leave of the court entitled to rely on that defence unless—
a
at least 7 clear days before the hearing; and
b
where the accused has previously appeared before the court in connection with the alleged offence, within one month of the first such appearance,
the accused has served on the prosecutor a written notice giving such information identifying or assisting in the identification of that other person as was then in the possession of the accused.

Procedure where a sample is to be analysed
25
1
An authorised officer who has procured a sample under section 29 of the Act and who considers it should be analysed must divide the sample into 3 parts.
2
If the sample consists of sealed containers and opening them would, in the opinion of the authorised officer, impede a proper analysis, the authorised officer must divide the sample into parts by putting the containers into 3 lots, and each lot is to be treated as being a part.
3
The authorised officer must—
a
if necessary place each part in a suitable container and seal it;
b
mark each part or container;
c
as soon as is reasonably practicable, give one part to the owner and notify the owner in writing that the sample will be analysed;
d
submit one part for analysis in accordance with section 30 of the Act; and

a decision has been made to send a report to the procurator fiscal or proceedings have been commenced against a person for an offence under these Regulations; and
b
the result of the analysis carried out in accordance with regulation 25(3)(d) is to be adduced as evidence,
paragraphs (2) to (8) apply.
2
The authorised officer—
a
may of the officer's own volition; or
b
must—
i
if requested by the prosecutor;
ii
if the court so orders; or
iii
(subject to paragraph (6)) if requested by the accused,
send the retained part of the sample to the Government Chemist for analysis.
3
The Government Chemist must analyse the part sent under paragraph (2) and send to the authorised officer a certificate specifying the results of the analysis.
4
Any certificate of the results of analysis transmitted by the Government Chemist must be signed by or on behalf of the Government Chemist, but the analysis may be carried out by any person under the direction of the person who signs the certificate.
5
The authorised officer must immediately on receipt supply the prosecutor and the accused with a copy of the Government Chemist's certificate of analysis.
6
Where a request is made under paragraph (2)(b)(iii) the authorised officer may give notice in writing to the accused requesting payment of a fee specified in the notice to defray some or all of the Government Chemist's charges for performing the functions under paragraph (3), and in the absence of agreement by the accused to pay the fee specified in the notice the authorised officer may refuse to comply with the request.
7
Any certificate transmitted by or on behalf of the Government Chemist in accordance with paragraph (4) is to be taken as sufficient evidence of the facts stated therein unless any party to the proceedings requests that the person by whom the certificate is signed be called as a witness.
