The old fee for testing for approval for use in relation to diseases of poultry if three dilution rates are specified by the person applying for approval of the disinfectant was £874.20 and is now £1,257. The old fee for testing for approval for use in relation to tuberculosis was £1,110 and is now £1,183. The old fee for testing for approval for use in all other instances where there is a requirement to use an approved disinfectant was £606 and is now £645.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as a minimal impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
