5.   There must be a system for recording all DBES eligible animals slaughtered and outgoing DBES fresh meat which ensures that it is possible to cross check consignments entering and leaving the establishment.
6.   All carcasses of DBES eligible animals must have individual numbers correlated with the eartag number and must be marked with an additional distinct mark in the form prescribed in Schedule 5 to The Bovines and Bovine Products (Trade) Regulations 1999 after the meat has been passed fit for human consumption following post mortem inspection.

Mae'r penderfyniad yn diwygio ymhellach y dulliau gweithredu a fynnir ar gyfer yr CASD yn benodol er mwyn caniatáu i gwmnïau sy'n cymryd rhan gigydda a phrosesu anifeiliaid buchol nad ydynt yn gymwys ar gyfer CASD yn ogystal ag anifeiliaid buchol sy'n gymwys ar gyfer CASD ar yr amod bod trefniadau gwahanu digonol wedi'u sefydlu.

Yn ychwanegol mae rheoliad 2(4) yn gwahardd cynnig anfon neu draddodi nwyddau na chaniateir eu hanfon na'u traddodi o dan y Rheoliadau hyn, boed ar y rhyngrwyd neu fel arall.
