point 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2.

The following substances are not included even if they are intentionally used and are authorised:
(a)

salts (including double salts and acid salts) of aluminium, ammonium, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium of authorised acids, phenols or alcohols. However, names containing “… acid(s), salts” appear in the lists, if the corresponding free acid(s) is (are) not mentioned;

(b)

salts (including double salts and acid salts) of zinc of authorised acids, phenols or alcohols. For these salts a Group SML = 25 mg/kg (expressed as Zn) apply. The same restriction for Zn applies to:

(i)

substances whose name contains “… acid(s), salts” which appear in the lists, if the corresponding free acid(s) is (are) not mentioned,
