CHAPTER V MARKING OF CERTAIN DERIVED PRODUCTS

1.In processing plants for the processing of Category 1 or Category 2 material, derived products shall be permanently marked with glyceroltriheptanoate (GTH) in such a way that:

GTH is added to derived products that have undergone a preceding sanitising thermal treatment at a core temperature of at least 80 °C and remain subsequently protected from re-contamination;

(b)

all derived products contain homogenously throughout the substance a minimum concentration of at least 250 mg GTH per kg fat.

2.The operators of processing plants referred to in point 1 shall have in place a system of monitoring and recording of parameters suitable to demonstrate to the competent authority that the required homogeneous minimum concentration of GTH is achieved.

That monitoring and recording system shall include the determination of the content of intact GTH as triglyceride in a cleaned petroleum-ether 40-70 extract of GTH from samples taken at regular intervals.

3.The marking with GTH shall not be required for:

(a)

liquid derived products destined for biogas or composting plants;
