1.For the purposes of Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 amendments to a product specification are classified into two categories as regards their importance: amendments requiring an objection procedure [F1under Article 98 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, as applied to applications for amendments by Article 15 (‘non-standard amendments’), and amendments that do not (‘standard amendments’).
