COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2026/1115

of 26 May 2026

amending Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 as regards the application form for authorisations of feed additives and the designation of target animal species and categories

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 7(4), first subparagraph, and Article 7(5), first subparagraph, thereof,

After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 establishes the procedure for authorising the placing on the market and use of feed additives. It provides that any person seeking an authorisation for a feed additive, or a new use of a feed additive is to submit an application for authorisation to the Commission in accordance with that Regulation.

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (2) sets out detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 as regards the preparation and the presentation of applications for the authorisation of feed additives and the assessment of such applications. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 sets out the form that must be used to submit an application for the authorisation of a feed additive, and Annex IV to that Regulation lays down target animals’ categories and their respective definitions and indicates the minimum duration of the related efficacy studies.

(3)

The application form set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 was established at a time when applications for the authorisation of feed additives were submitted as physical or scanned documents. Since 2021, all applications for feed additives must be submitted via the electronic submission system of the Commission. That evolution would allow the system to have an automatically generated application form, by extracting the necessary information from the electronic submission. In addition, the content of the application form should be simplified with a view to optimise the treatment of applications.

(4)

The experience accumulated by the Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed in processing applications for authorisation of feed additives has shown the need to update the terminology used in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 for designating the animal species and categories subject to a particular application, while also ensuring that Annex IV covers all possible animal species and categories which are bred or kept in the Union and not just the main food-producing animal species and categories. Such approach would give clarity as to the concrete scope of the applications and facilitate the authorisation process. Article 1(2), Article 3(2), last subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 and Annexes II, III and IV thereto should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)

The minimum duration of long-term efficacy studies laid down in point 4.4, fourth subparagraph of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 and in the last column of Annex IV to that Regulation was set out in 2008. That minimum duration should be adjusted in accordance with the latest recommendations of the Authority (3), which reflect the recent technological progress and scientific developments and advise for a shorter minimum duration of long-term efficacy studies for some animal species and categories such as laying hens or salmon and trout.

(6)	The definition of ‘minor species’ laid down in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 should be complemented for more clarity by introducing a definition of ‘major species’.

(7)

A new Annex V should be added to that Regulation on definitions of the respective animal species and the differentiation between the major and minor species, comprised therein. In addition, it should be made clear in the new Annex V to that Regulation that rabbits and horses that are not used for human consumption do not belong to the group of pets and non-food-producing animals but to the group of leporids (Leporidae) and equines (Equidae) respectively.

(8)

A concordance table should be provided in Annex III to this Implementing Regulation, offering a correspondence between the terms commonly used for the designation of animal species and categories in the authorisations of feed additives granted before the date of application of this Implementing Regulation and the terms designating the same animal species and categories to be used as of the date of application of this Implementing Regulation. The objective of that concordance table is to assist applicants in designating the relevant scope of target animal species, when preparing applications in accordance with Article 13 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 for the modification or the renewal of existing authorisations, to be submitted as of the date of application of this Implementing Regulation.

(9)	Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)	In order to enable business operators to adapt to the new requirements set by this Implementing Regulation, it is necessary that this Regulation starts applying 6 months after its date of entry into force.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex II is amended as follows:

(1)

in point 3.1.1.2, Table 2, Table 5 and Table 7 are replaced by the following:

‘Table 2

Duration of tolerance trials: Poultry

Target animals	Duration of the studies	Characteristic of the target animals
Chickens for fattening and chickens reared for laying or reproduction	35 days	From hatching
Laying hens	56 days	Preferably during the first third of the laying period
Turkeys for fattening	42 days	From hatching

Tolerance data from chickens for fattening or turkeys for fattening can be used to demonstrate tolerance for chickens or turkeys reared for laying/reproduction respectively.’;

‘Table 5

Duration of tolerance trials: Salmonids

Target animals	Duration of the studies	Characteristic of the target animals
Salmon and trout	90 days

As an alternative to a 90-day duration, a study could be performed where the finfish increase their initial body weight at the start of the trial by least a factor of two.

If the additive is intended to be used for brood stock only, the tolerance tests shall be carried out as close to the spawning period as possible. The tolerance tests shall last for 90 days and attention shall be paid to the egg quality and survival of the eggs.’;

‘Table 7

Duration of tolerance trials: Rabbits

Target animals	Duration of the studies	Characteristic of the target animals
Rabbits for fattening	28 days
Rabbit does	1 cycle	From insemination to the end of the weaning period

If rabbits suckling and weaned are applied for, a period of 49 days (beginning one week after birth) would be considered sufficient and must include the does until weaning.’;

(2)

in point 3.2.1.2, the fifth subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘For the determination of a withdrawal period, the suggested minimum number of animals sampled and/or products at each time point are the following:

—

edible tissues:

—	bovines, sheep, pigs and minor species: 4,

—	poultry: 6,

—	salmonids and other food-producing finfish: 10,

—

products:

—	milk: 8 samples per time point,

—	eggs: 10 eggs per time point,

—	honey: 8 samples per time point.’;

(3)

in point 3.2.3.3, the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘For additives intended for multi-species, the exposure from tissues shall be independently calculated for mammals, poultry and food-producing finfish and the highest value taken. Where appropriate, exposure from milk and eggs shall be added to this figure. For example, where an additive is applied for lactating mammals and laying birds, the respective highest edible tissue values are added to those for milk and egg consumption. Where the additive is applied for food-producing finfish and laying birds and lactating mammals, the respective highest edible tissue values are added to those for egg and milk consumption. Other combinations shall be envisaged in the same way.’;

(4)	in point 3.2.3.3, the title of the third column of Table 1 is replaced by ‘Poultry’ and the title of the fourth column of Table 1 is replaced by ‘Food-producing finfish’;

(5)

in point 3.4.1.2, the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘Feed additives used in aquaculture can result in contamination of sediment and water. The compartment of concern for the environmental risk assessment for food-producing finfish farmed in cages is assumed to be the sediment. For food-producing finfish farmed in land-based systems the effluent flowing to surface water is considered to pose the major environmental risk.’;

(6)

point 3.4.2.1 is replaced by the following:

‘Phase II A

In addition to the compartments considered in Phase I, the PEC for surface water has to be calculated considering runoff and drainage.

Based on data not considered in Phase I, a more refined PEC can be calculated for each environmental compartment of concern. In ascertaining the refined PEC, account shall be taken of:

(a)	the concentration of active substance(s)/metabolites of concern in manure/finfish faeces following administration of the additive to animals at the proposed dose level. This calculation shall include consideration of dosage rates and amount of excreta produced;

(b)	the potential degradation of the excreted active substance(s)/metabolites of concern during normal manure processing practice and storage prior to its application to land;

(c)	the adsorption/desorption of the active substance(s)/metabolites of concern onto soil or sediment for aquaculture, preferentially determined by studies in soil/sediment (OECD 106);

(d)	degradation in soil and water/sediment systems (OECD 307 and 308, respectively); and

(e)	other factors such as hydrolysis, photolysis, evaporation, dilution through ploughing.

The highest value for the PEC obtained from these calculations for each environmental compartment of concern shall be adopted for Phase II risk assessment purposes.

If a high persistence in soil/sediment is anticipated (time to degradation of 90 % of original concentration of the compound: DT90 > 1 year), the potential for accumulation shall be considered.

The concentrations of additives (or metabolites) producing serious adverse effects for various trophic levels in the environmental compartments of concern shall be determined. These tests are mostly acute tests and should follow OECD or similar well-established guidelines. Studies for the terrestrial environment shall include: toxicity to earthworms; three terrestrial plants; and soil micro-organisms (e.g. effects on nitrogen fixation). Studies for the fresh water environment shall include: toxicity to finfish; Daphnia magna; algae; and a sediment dwelling organism. In case of sea cages, three species of different taxa of sediment dwelling organisms shall be studied.

Calculation of the PNEC value shall be carried out for each compartment of concern. The PNEC is normally derived from the lowest toxicity value observed in the above tests and dividing by a safety factor of at least 100 depending on the endpoint and number of test species used.

The potential for bioaccumulation can be estimated from the value of the n-octanol/water partition coefficient, Log Kow. Values ≥ 3 indicate that the substance may bioaccumulated. In order to assess the risk for secondary poisoning it shall be considered whether to carry out a bioconcentration factor (BCF) study at Phase II B.’;

(7)

point 4.4 is replaced by the following:

‘4.4. Duration of long-term efficacy studies with target animals

In principle, the duration of efficacy trials shall correspond to the application period claimed.

Efficacy trials shall be carried out according to farming practices in the Union and be of the minimum duration as stated by Annex IV.

For minor species for which a minimum duration period of studies is not established in Annex IV, the minimum duration shall correspond to that of the physiologically related major species, as applicable. For other animal species and categories for which a minimum duration period of studies is not established in Annex IV, the minimum duration shall be 42 days for growing animals (from birth to slaughter or to entry in the reproduction period) and 56 days for adult animals (from entry in the reproduction period).

If an additive is applied for a specific and shorter period than normally applicable for the animal species or category, it shall be administered according to the proposed conditions of use. However, the observation period shall not be shorter than 28 days and shall involve the relevant end-points (e.g. for sows the number of piglets born alive when considering the gestation period, or the number and weight of weaned piglets when considering the lactation period).’;

(3)

Annex III is amended as follows:

(1)

in point 2.1.3, subparagraph (3) is replaced by the following:

‘(3)

For substances which favourably affect the colour of ornamental aquatic species or ornamental birds, studies concerning Section III subsection 3.1 of Annex II are required and shall be performed on animals receiving the additive at the recommended dose. Evidence can also be provided by reference to existing scientific literature. However, subsections 3.2 and 3.4 are not required.’;

(2)

in point 2.1.4, subparagraph (c) is replaced by the following:

‘(c)	For substances which favourably affect the colour of ornamental aquatic species and birds:

studies demonstrating the effect(s) shall be performed on animals receiving the additive at the recommended levels of use. Colour changes shall be measured using the appropriate methodology. Evidence of efficacy may also be provided by other experimental studies (e.g. bioavailability) or by reference to scientific literature.’;

(3)

in point 5.4, the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘These additives protect the animals from the results of an invasion of Eimeria spp. or Histomonas meleagridis. Importance shall be attached to evidence of the specific effects of the additive (e.g. species controlled) and its prophylactic properties (e.g. reduction in morbidity, mortality, oocyst count and lesion score). Information on the effect on growth and feed conversion (fattening birds, replacement layers and rabbits), effects on hatchability (birds for reproduction) shall be provided, as appropriate.’;

(4)	in point 6, the first subparagraph is replaced by the following: ‘Major species and minor species are defined in Article 1(2) and (3) of this Regulation.’;

(5)

in point 6.3.1.1, the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘If three major target species (including monogastric and ruminant mammals and poultry) showed a similar and wide margin of safety, no additional tolerance studies are required for non-physiologically similar minor species (e.g. horses or rabbits). Where tolerance is required, the duration of the studies for minor species (except rabbits) shall be at least 28 days for growing animals and 42 days for adult animals. For rabbits, the following durations apply: rabbits for fattening: 28 days; rabbit does: one cycle (from insemination to the end of the weaning period). If rabbits suckling and weaned are applied for, a period of 49 days (beginning one week after birth) is considered sufficient and must include the does until weaning. For food-producing finfish (other than salmonids) a 90-day period is required.’;

(6)

point 6.3.2.3 is replaced by the following:

‘6.3.2.3.

Assessment of consumer safety

Proposal for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs)

Setting of MRLs can be done by assuming that no significant differences in the content of residues occur in the edible tissues of minor species compared to a similar major species.

MRLs can be extrapolated within classes of animals as follows:

—	from major growing ruminants to all growing ruminants,

—	from milk of dairy cows to milk of other dairy ruminants,

—	from pigs to all monogastric mammals, excluding horses,

—	from chickens or turkeys to other poultry,

—	from laying hens to other laying birds, and

—	from salmonids to all food-producing finfish.

MRLs for horses could be extrapolated when MRLs for a major ruminant and a major monogastric mammal exist.

If identical MRLs were derived in cattle (or sheep), pigs and chicken (or poultry), which represent major species with different metabolic capacities and tissue composition, the same MRLs can also be set for ovines, equines and rabbits, which means an extrapolation is considered possible to all food-producing animals except food-producing aquatic animals. Considering the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) guideline (x) on the establishment of MRLs for salmonids and other food-producing finfish, which already allows an extrapolation from MRLs in muscle of a major species to salmonids and other food-producing finfish provided that the parent substances is acceptable as marker residue for the MRL in muscle and skin, MRLs can be extrapolated to all food-producing animals.

Analytical methods shall be available for monitoring residues in edible tissue and products of all food-producing animals.
