Division 2.2.2.3 Methods of analysis

1. (1)

   For natural products (either botanically defined or non-plant origin) which do not contain substances of toxicological concern for humans or animals, the standard requirement for methods of analysis of subsection 2.6 of Annex II may be replaced by a simpler qualitative method of analysis fit for the purpose for major or characteristic components of the product.

2. (2)

   For natural or corresponding synthetic chemically defined flavourings which are not substances of toxicological concern for humans or animals the standard requirement for methods of analysis of subsection 2.6. of Annex II may be replaced by a simpler qualitative method of analysis fit for the purpose.

The whole of subsection 2.6 of Annex II applies for all other flavourings, such as those natural extracts which contain substances of toxicological concern, natural or corresponding synthetic chemically defined flavourings which are substances of toxicological concern themselves and artificial flavourings.
