Part II:

(1) OJ L 273, 10.10.2002, p. 1.

(2) Method 1 is as follows:

“Reduction

1. If the particle size of the animal by-products to be processed is more than 50 millimetres, the animal by-products must be reduced in size using appropriate equipment, set so that the particle size after reduction is no greater than 50 millimetres. The effectiveness of the equipment must be checked daily and its condition recorded. If checks disclose the existence of particles larger than 50 millimetres, the process must be stopped and repairs made before the process is resumed.

Time, temperature and pressure

2. After reduction the animal by-products must be heated to a core temperature of more than 133 °C for at least 20 minutes without interruption at a pressure (absolute) of at least 3 bars produced by saturated steam; the heat treatment may be applied as the sole process or as a pre- or post-process sterilisation phase.

3. The processing may be carried out in batch or continuous systems.”

The signature and the stamp must be in a different colour to that of the printing.

Note for the person responsible for the load in EU: this certificate is only for veterinary purposes and has to accompany the consignment until it reaches the factory of destination from the border inspection post.
