  "text": "The Annex is amended as follows:\n1.. in Chapter I, points (f) and (g) are deleted;\n2.. Chapter II is amended as follows:\n(a) points 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:\n‘1.\nThe competent authority shall only approve the use of identifiers which have been tested with favorable results on their:\n(a) conformance with the ISO standards 11784 and 11785, in accordance with the test procedures specified in point 7 of the ISO standard 24631-1; and\n(b) achievement of minimum performance on reading distance as laid down in point 2, in accordance with the procedures specified in point 7 of the ISO standard 24631-3.\n2.\nIn order to achieve the reading distances as laid down in point (c) of Section A.6 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, the transponder shall fulfill the following parameters:\n(a) transponders applying HDX- technology shall have a minimum activating magnetic field strength less than or equal to 1,2 A/m, as measured according to the ISO standard 24631-3, part 7.6.5 “Minimal activating magnetic field strength in HDX mode” and shall develop a modulation amplitude equivalent to 10 mV as measured according to the ISO standard 24631-3, part 7.6.7 “Modulation amplitude in HDX mode” at a magnetic field strength less than or equal to 1,2 A/m;\n(b) transponders applying FDX-B technology shall have a minimum activating magnetic field strength less than or equal to 1,2 A/m, as measured according to the ISO standard 24631-3, part 7.6.4 “Minimum activating magnetic field strength in FDX-B mode” and shall develop a modulation amplitude equivalent to 10 mV as measured according to the ISO standard 24631-3, part 7.6.6 “Modulation amplitude in FDX-B mode”, at a magnetic field strength less than or equal to 1,2 A/m.’\n(b) the following point 6 is added:\n‘6.\nApprovals granted by the competent authority until 30 June 2010 for identifiers which are tested in accordance with the methods for approval of identifiers applicable until that date shall continue to be valid.’\n3.. Chapters III and IV are replaced by the following:\n‘CHAPTER III\nReaders\nIf needed in order to ensure the correct reading of identifiers under local geographic, climatic and/or management conditions, the competent authority may impose specific performance criteria on readers that are used in a specific holding or in a specific type of holding. The management conditions that justify such specific performance criteria are likely to prevail in holdings that handle a high throughput of animals marked with identifiers applying the HDX and FDX-B technology and/or holdings where synchronisation of readers is required according to point 7.7.3 of the ISO standard 24631-2.\nCHAPTER IV\nTest laboratories and procedure\nThe tests specified in points 1-4 of Chapter II shall be carried out in test laboratories that operate and are assessed and accredited for those tests in accordance with the standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 on “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. Manufacturers for identifiers that apply for the tests may freely choose between accredited test laboratories.’",
