Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The tolerances are given either as an absolute percentage value (this value must be subtracted from/added to the declared content) or as a relative value marked with ‘ % ’ after the value (this percentage must be applied to the declared content to calculate the acceptable deviation).

The tolerances are applicable where no tolerance has been laid down in accordance with an EU method or in accordance with an official national method in the Member State in which the feed is placed on the market or in accordance with an method adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (https://standards.cen.eu/dyn/www/f?p=204:32:0::::FSP_ORG_ID,FSP_LANG_ID:6308,25&cs=1C252307F473504B6354F4EE56B99E235).
