In Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005, Chapter II is replaced by the following:

‘CHAPTER II

AMNESIC SHELLFISH POISON (ASP) DETECTION METHOD

The total content of amnesic shellfish poison (ASP) of edible parts of molluscs (the entire body or any part edible separately) must be detected using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method or any other internationally recognised method.

However, for screening purposes, the 2006.02 ASP ELISA method as published in the AOAC Journal of June 2006 may also be used to detect the total content of ASP of edible parts of molluscs.

If the results are challenged, the reference method shall be the HPLC method.’
