If it can be demonstrated that a homogenous consignment is bigger than the maximum batch size according to point 2 and that it has been sampled in a representative way, then the results of the analysis of the appropriately drawn and sealed sample will be considered acceptable.

Where a feed business operator has documentary proof that a batch of a product or all components of a batch of a product as referred to under point 2 entering his establishment has already been analysed at an earlier stage of production, processing or distribution, the feed business operator shall be released from the obligation to analyse this batch.

The proof of analysis shall unambiguously link the delivery and the batch or batches tested. This link shall be described in the documented traceability system in place at the premises of the supplier. In particular, when the delivery is obtained from more than one batch or component, the documentary proof to be provided shall be a proof for each of the components of the delivery. In the case where the testing is performed on the outgoing product, the proof that the product has been analysed shall be the analytical report.

Any delivery of products as referred to under point 2(b) (i) or c (iii) shall be accompanied by a proof that these products are in compliance with the requirements of point 2(b)(i) or (c)(iii). If required, the proof of analysis that include the batch or batches delivered must be consigned to the consignee when the operator receives the analysis from the authorised laboratories.

If all incoming batches of products referred to in point 2(g)(i) entering a production process have been analysed in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation and if it can be assured that the production process, handling and storage does not increase the dioxin contamination, the feed business operator shall be released from the obligation to analyse the outgoing product and instead analyse it according to the HACCP system.

Where a feed business operator mandates a laboratory which is located in a Member State other than the feed business operator ordering the analysis he shall instruct the laboratory to report to its competent authority, which shall inform the competent authority of the Member State where the feed business operator is located.

Feed business operators shall inform the competent authority of the Member State where they are located if they mandate a laboratory located in a third country. Evidence must be provided that the laboratory performs the analysis in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 152/2009.

The dioxin testing requirements shall be reviewed by 16 March 2014.
