COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 17 December 1973  on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs  (74/63/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Communtiy, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);  Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);  Whereas livestock production occupies a very important place in the agriculture of the Community ; whereas satisfactory results depend to a large extent on the use of appropriate good-quality feedingstuffs;  Whereas the existence of rules concerning feedingstuffs is essential to an increase in agricultural productivity;  Whereas feedingstuffs often contain undesirable substances or products which can endanger animal health or, because of their presence in livestock products, human health;  Whereas it is impossible to exclude totally the presence of the substances and products in question ; whereas it is important that their content in feedingstuffs should be reduced in order to prevent undesirable and harmful effects ; whereas it is at present impossible to fix this content below the levels detectable by methods of analysis to be defined for the Community;  Whereas undesirable substances and products may be present in feedingstuffs only in accordance with the conditions laid down in this Directive and may not be used in any other way for the purposes of animal feeding;  Whereas Member States should, however, retain the power to allow, under certain conditions, feedingstuffs having levels of undesirable substances and products higher than those provided for in the Annex;  Whereas the provisions laid down in the Member States by law, regulation or administrative action concerning the maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs, in so far as they exist, differ as regards their basic principles ; whereas it follows that they directly affect the functioning of the common market and should therefore be harmonized;  Whereas Member States should retain the power, if animal or human health is endangered, to reduce temporarily the fixed maximum permissible levels or to fix maximum levels for other substances or products or to prohibit the presence of such substances or products in feedingstuffs;  Whereas in order that a Member State should not abuse that power, possible amendments to the Annex to this Directive based on supporting documents should be decided on by emergency Community procedure;  Whereas an appropriate Community procedure is essential to adjust the technical provisions laid down in the Annex, to developments in scientific and technical knowledge;  Whereas the regulations of third countries relating to undesirable substances and products may be different from those provided for by this Directive ; whereas, therefore, Member States should be allowed to refrain from applying such provisions to feedingstuffs exported to those countries;  Whereas, in order to ensure that the requirements laid down in respect of undesirable substances and products are satisfied during marketing of feedingstuffs, Member States must make appropriate control arrangements;  Whereas, feedingstuffs satisfying these requirements should not be subject, with regard to their level of undesirable substances and products, to marketing restrictions other than those provided for in this Directive;  (1)OJ No C 10, 5.2.1972, p. 35. (2)OJ No C 4, 20.1.1972, p. 3.   Whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the proposed measures, a procedure should be laid down to establish close cooperation between Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs set up by the Council Decision of 20 July 1970 (1),  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 1. This Directive deals with the laying down of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs, as listed in the Annex.  2. This Directive shall apply without prejudice to the provisions on:    (a) additives in feedingstuffs;       (b) the marketing of feedingstuffs;       (c) the fixing of maximum permitted levels of pesticide residues on and in products intended for animal feeding.          Article 2 For the purposes of this Directive the following definitions shall apply:    (a) Feedingstuffs : organic or inorganic substances, used singly or in mixtures, whether or not containing additives, for oral animal feeding;       (b) Straight feedingstuffs : various vegetable and animal products in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and their derivatives after industrial processing, as well as the various organic and inorganic substances intended as such for oral animal feeding;       (c) Daily ration : the average total quantity of feedingstuffs, calculated on a moisture content of 12 %, required daily by an animal of a given species, age category and yield, to satisfy all its needs;       (d) Complete feedingstuffs : mixtures of feedingstuffs which, by reason of their composition, are sufficient for a daily ration;       (e) Complementary feedingstuffs : mixtures of feedingstuffs which have a high content of certain substances and which, by reason of their composition, are sufficient for a daily ration only if they are used in combination with other feedingstuffs.          Article 3 1. Member States shall prescribe that the substances and products listed in the Annex shall be tolerated in feedingstuffs only under the conditions therein set out.  2. Member States may allow the maximum levels provided for in the Annex in respect of feedingstuffs to be exceeded:    - where the feedingstuffs are intended to be sent for delivery to recognized manufactures only and, after mixing, meet the provisions set out in the Annex;       - and where any other use is shown to be excluded by any appropriate indication.          Article 4 Member States shall prescribe that in so far as there are no special provisions for complementary feedingstuffs, these may not - allowing for the dilutions prescribed for their use - contain levels of the substances and products listed in this Directive in excess of those fixed for complete feedingstuffs.   Article 5 1. Where a Member State considers that a maximum content fixed in the Annex, or that a substance or product not listed therein, presents a danger to animal or human health, that Member State may provisionally reduce this content, fix a maximum content, or forbid the presence of that substance or product in feedingstuffs it shall advise the other Member States and the Commission without delay of the measures taken and at the same time give its reasons.  2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10, an immediate decision shall be made as to whether the Annex should be modified. So long as no decision has been made by either the Council or the Commission the Member State may maintain the measures it has implemented.   Article 6 Amendments to be made to the Annex due to developments in scientific or technical knowledge shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.   Article 7 Member States shall ensure that feedingstuffs which conform to this Directive are not subject to any other  (1)OJ No L 170, 3.8.1970, p. 1.   marketing restrictions as regards the presence of undesirable substances and products.   Article 8 1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that feedingstuffs are officially controlled, at least by random sampling, to verify whether the conditions laid down in this Directive are satisfied.  2. Member States shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of the name of the departments appointed to carry out this control.   Article 9 1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed matters shall be referred without delay by the Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State, to the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs, hereinafter called the "Committee".  2.

The Commission shall adopt the measures and implement them forthwith where they are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee. Where they are not in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee, or if no Opinion is delivered, the Commission shall without delay propose to the Council the measures to be adopted. The Council shall adopt the measures by a qualified majority.  If the Council has not adopted any measures within three months of the proposal being submitted to it, the Commission shall adopt the proposed measures and implement them forthwith, except where the Council has voted by a simple majority against such measures.   Article 10 1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, matters shall be referred to the Committee without delay by the Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State.  2. The votes of the Member States within the Committee shall be weighted as provided in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.  3.

(6) This Directive was notified to the Member States on 30 May 1986.  ANNEX  1.2 // 1.   // Scope   //   // For the purposes of this Annex, 'tyre pressure gauges' are instruments not fitted with pre-setting devices used in fixed or mobile installations for inflating motor-vehicle tyres in which a mechanical measuring system transmits the elastic deformation of a sensing element to an indicating device.   //   // They indicate the pressure difference (Pe) between the air in the tyre and the atmosphere.   //   // They also include all those parts between the tyre and the sensing element.   // 2.   // Metrological requirements   // 2.1.   // Maximum permissible errors   //   // The maximum permissible positive or negative errors given in the table hereunder are defined as absolute values according to the measured pressure:  1.2 //    //   // Measured pressure  // Maximum permissible errors   //    //   // not exceeding 4 bar   // 0,08 bar   // above 4 bar but not exceeding 10 bar  // 0,16 bar   // above 10 bar   // 0,25 bar   //    // 1.2 //   // The maximum permissible errors must not be exceeded in the range 15 to 25 °C. This range is hereinafter termed the 'temperature reference range'.   // 2.2.   // Variation due to temperature   //   // The variation in pressure-gauge readings at temperatures lying outside the reference range but between - 10 °C and + 40 °C is given in the table hereunder:  1.2 //  //   // Measured pressure  // Maximum permissible variation  //  //  // not exceeding 4 bar   // 0,1 % of 4 bar per degree Celsius   // above 4 bar but not exceeding 10 bar   // 0,05 % of 10 bar per degree Celsius   // above 10 bar   // 0,05 % of the upper scale limit per degree Celsius   //    // 1.2 // 2.3.   // Hysteresis error   //   // Hysteresis error in pressure gauges must not exceed the absolute value of the maximum permissible error, at any temperature within the temperature reference range. This temperature must remain constant throughout the test.   //   // For a given pressure, the value measured for increasing pressure must not exceed the value measured for decreasing pressures.   // 2.4.   // Return of the instrument's index to a predetermined mark   //   // At atmospheric pressure, the pressure gauge index must stop opposite the zero mark or opposite a predetermined mark clearly differentiated from the scale intervals, within the limits of the maximum permissible error. A pressure gauge may possess a stop at a distance corresponding to at least twice the value of the maximum permissible error below zero or below the predetermined mark.   // 3.   // Technical requirements  // 3.1.   // Construction   //   // Pressure gauges must be robustly and carefully constructed to ensure that they retain their metrological characteristics.   // 3.2.   // Indicating device   // 3.2.1.   // Indicating devices are graduated in bar, the value of the scale intervals being fixed at 0,1 bar.  // 3.2.2.   // In the measurement range, the indicating device must make it possible to read off, directly and accurately, the value of the pressure measured. To this end, the thickness of the part of the index which covers the scale marks must not be greater than the thickness of the scale marks themselves. The index must be capable of covering approximately half the length of the shortest scale marks. The maximum distance between the index and the plane of the scale marks must not be greater than the length of the scale division and must in no case exceed 2 mm or 0,02 L + 1 mm in the case of circular-dial indicating devices (L being the distance between the axis of rotation of the pointer and its extremity).   // 3.2.3.   // The scale intervals must be equal over the entire scale. The scale spacings, which must not be less than 1,25 mm, must be either virtually equal or show only slight variations. Variation of scale spacing is permitted if the difference between two consecutive scale spacings does not exceed 20 % of the largest value and if the difference between the smallest and largest scale spacings does not exceed 50 % of the largest value.   //  // Every fifth mark must be distinguished from the others by its greater length; every fifth or tenth mark must be numbered. The thickness of the marks must be virtually constant and must not exceed one-fifth (1 / 5) of the scale spacing.   // 4.  // Inscriptions and marks   // 4.1.   // Inscriptions  // 4.1.1.   // Compulsory inscriptions  //  // Pressure gauges must bear the following inscriptions:   //   // (a) on the dial:   //   // - the symbol for the quantity measured, Pe,  //   // - the symbol for the unit of measurement, bar,   //  // - where necessary, a sign indicating the working position of the instrument;   //   // (b) on the dial, data plate or on the instrument itself:   //   // - manufacturer's identification particulars,   //   // - identification particulars of the instrument,   //   // - the EEC pattern approval mark.   //   // These inscriptions must be directly visible, easily legible and indelible under normal conditions of use and must not impede reading of the instrument indication.   // 4.1.2.   // Optional inscriptions  //  // Pressure gauges may also carry additional inscriptions authorized by the competent national authority, provided that they do not impede reading of the instrument indication.  // 4.2.   // Verification and sealing marks   //   // A suitable place must be provided for affixing the EEC initial verification marks.   //   // The pressure gauges must be capable of being sealed in such a way as to render it impossible to alter the characteristics of the instrument.  // 5.   // EEC pattern approval   //   // EEC pattern approval of pressure gauges must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Directive 71/361/EEC.   //   // At least two pressure gauges must be submitted for examination when application is made for pattern approval. The competent national authority may ask for additional pressure gauges to be supplied, depending on the progress of the tests.   // 5.1.  // Verification of compliance with technical and metrological requirements   //   // Pressure gauges submitted for EEC pattern approval shall undergo an examination to ensure that they comply with the technical requirements set out in sections 2, 3 and 4.   //   // The examination comprises the following tests, which are performed by means of reference pressure gauges whose errors must not exceed one-quarter (1 / 4) of the maximum permissible errors for the pressure gauges tested.  // 5.1.1.   // Determination of instrument error  //  // Pressure-gauge readings are checked at not fewer than five points (including a point near the upper and lower limits of the measuring range) distributed evenly over the scale.  // 5.1.2.   // Determination of hysteresis error  //  // This test is to be performed only on instuments which, in normal use, are designed to measure decreasing pressures.   //  // The test consists in taking readings at not fewer than five points on the pressure gauge (including a point near the upper and lower limits of the measuring range) distributed evenly over the scale, at increasing and decreasing pressure values.  //   // In the case of decreasing values, the readings must be taken after the pressure gauge has been kept at a pressure equal to the upper limit of the measuring range for 20 minutes.   // 5.1.3.   // Examination of the stability of the properties of pressure gauges  //  // The tests consist in subjecting pressure gauges to:   //   // (a) a pressure exceeding the upper limit of the measuring range by 25 % for 15 minutes;  //   // (b) 1 000 pulses produced by a pressure varying from 0 to 90-95 % of the upper limit of the measuring range;   //  // (c) 10 000 cycles of a pressure varying slowly from approximately 20 % to approximately 75 % of the upper limit of the measuring range at a frequency not exceeding 60 cycles per minute;   //   // (d) an ambient temperature of - 20 °C for six hours and a temperature of + 50 °C for six hours.   //   // On completion of tests (a), (b) and (c) and after being left to stand for one hour, the pressure gauges must satisfy the requirements set out in sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4.   //   // On completion of the temperature test referred to in (d), the pressure gauges must be left to stand at a temperature in the temperature reference range for six hours. After this period, the pressure gauges must satisfy the requirements set out in sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4.   // 5.1.4.   // Variation due to temperature  //  // The test consists in determining the change in reading for a given pressure at temperatures of - 10 °C and + 40 °C compared with the reading in the temperature reference range.   // 6.   // EEC initial verification   //   // EEC initial verification of pressure gauges is carried out in accordance with Directive 71/316/EEC.   // 6.1.  // Examination of conformity   //   // This examination consists in checking the conformity of the pressure gauge with the approved pattern.   // 6.2.   // Verification tests   //  // These tests are performed by means of reference pressure gauges whose errors must not exceed one-quarter (1 / 4) of the maximum permissible errors for the pressure gauges submitted for verification.   // 6.2.1.   // Determination of errors  //  // Pressure gauge readings are checked at not fewer than three points distributed evenly over the measuring range.  // 6.2.2.   // Determination of hysteresis error  //  // Hysteresis error must be checked only in the case of pressure gauges which can measure increasing and decreasing pressure pursuant to sector 2.3.   //   // The relevant test consists in taking readings at no fewer than three points on the pressure gauge, distributed evenly over the measuring range, for increasing and decreasing pressure values.
