2b13140	—	Linalool oxide	Additive composition Linalool oxide Characterisation of the active substance Produced by chemical synthesis Purity: min. 95 % assay Chemical formula: C10H18O2 CAS number: 1365-19-1 FLAVIS No: 13.140 Method of analysis a For the determination of linalool oxide in the feed additive and in feed flavouring premixtures: Gas chromatography mass spectrometry with retention time locking GC-MS-RTL.	All animal species except fish	—	—	—	1. The additive shall be incorporated into the feed in the form of a premixture. 2. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage and stability conditions shall be indicated. 3. On the label of the additive the following shall be indicated: ‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: 0,3 mg/kg for pigs and poultry, 0,5 mg/kg for other species and categories except fish.’ 4. The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated on the label of the premixture where the use levels suggested on the label of the premixture would result in exceeding the levels referred to in point 3. 5. The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated in the labelling of feed materials and compound feedingstuffs where the content of the active substance in the complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % exceeds: 0,3 mg/kg for pigs and poultry, 0,5 mg/kg for other species and categories except fish. 6. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation, dermal contact or eyes contact. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves.	15.3.2028
