Regulation 5 Application of these Regulations to small-scale bovine operators

These Regulations do not apply to a small-scale bovine operator if that operator does not classify bovine carcases.

But if a small-scale bovine operator chooses to classify bovine carcases, these Regulations apply in relation to that operator and the classification of those carcases.

In paragraphs (1) and (2), “classify” means classify in accordance with the F1assimilated beef provisions or otherwise than in accordance with those provisions, and “classification” is to be construed accordingly.

In this regulation, “small-scale bovine operator” means an operator of an approved slaughterhouse at which F2less than 150 adult bovine animals per week as an annual average are slaughtered.

Nothing in this regulation prevents the application of these Regulations to an operator in relation to pig carcases if pigs are also slaughtered in that operator's slaughterhouse.
