  "text": "In the Annex to Decision 2009/11/EC the following Part 8 is added:\n‘ Part 8\nCSB-IMAGE-MEATER\n1.\nThe rules provided for in this part shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as “CSB-Image-Meater”.\n2.\nThe CSB-Image-Meater consists in particular of a video camera, a PC equipped with an image-analysis card, a screen, a printer, a command mechanism, a rate mechanism and interfaces. The 4 CSB-Image-Meater variables are all measured at the split line in the ham area (around gluteus medius muscle); the measured values are transformed into estimation of a lean meat percentage by a central unit.\n3.\nThe lean meat content of a carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:\nŶ = 68,39920953 – (0,39050694 × F) – (0,32611391 × V4F) + (0,07864716 × M) – (0,00762296 × V4M)\nwhere:\nŶ the estimated percentage of lean meat in a carcass.\nF fat thickness as thinnest layer above muscle gluteus medius (in millimetres).\nV4F Average fat thickness of the complete bacon layer above the four lumbar vertebra (called VaF, VbF, VcF, VdF) (in millimetres).\nM Meat thickness from the cranial edge of muscle gluteus medius and the vertebrae canal (in millimetres).\nV4M Average meat thickness above the four lumbar vertebra (called VaM, VbM, VcM, VdM) (in millimetres).\nThis formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kilograms (warm weight).’",
