Commencement Information
I1Sch. 2 Pt. I in force at 26.12.2006, see reg. 1(1)
| Column 1: Undesirable substances | Column 2: Products intended for animal feed | Column 3: Maximum content in mg/kg of feeding stuffs referred to a moisture content of 12% |
|---|---|---|
(1) Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of this substance, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5% w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied where it can be demonstrated that the procedure used has an equal extraction efficiency. | ||
(2) WHO-TEFs for human risk assessment based on the conclusions of the World Health Organisation meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, 15–18 June 1997 (Van den Berg et al., (1998), Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs) for PCBs, PCDDs and PCDFs for Humans and for Wildlife, Environmental Health Perspectives, 106(12), 775). | ||
(3) The separate maximum level for dioxins (PCDD/F) remains applicable for a temporary period. The products intended for animal feed mentioned in column 2 have to comply both with the maximum levels for dioxins and with the maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs during that temporary period. | ||
(4) Fresh fish directly delivered and used without intermediate processing for the production of feed for fur-producing animals is not subject to the maximum levels, while maximum levels of 4.0 ng WHO-PCDD/F-TEQ/kg product and 8.0 ng WHO-PCDD/F-PCB-TEQ/kg product are applicable to fresh fish used for the direct feeding of pet animals, zoo and circus animals. The products, processed animal proteins produced from these animals (fur-producing animals, pet animals and zoo and circus animals) cannot enter the food chain and cannot be fed to farmed animals which are kept, fattened or bred for the production of food. | ||
(5) Maximum levels refer to an analytical determination of fluorine, whereby extraction is performed with hydrochloric acid 1 N for 20 minutes at ambient temperature. Equivalent extraction procedures can be applied where it can be demonstrated that the procedure used has an equal extraction efficiency. | ||
