They must comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV.\nAppendix 20\nRequirements for polyvinylimidazole-polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers (PVI/PVP)\nThe purpose of the use of PVI/PVP is to prevent defects caused by too high metal contents and to reduce undesirable high concentration of metals.\nRequirements:\n(1) Copolymers must be eliminated by filtration no later than two days after their addition taking into account the precautionary principle.\n(2) In the case of cloudy musts, the copolymer must be added no earlier than a maximum of two days before filtration.\n(3) The treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.\n(4) The treatment must be recorded in the registers referred to in Article 147(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.\nAppendix 21\nRequirements for silver chloride\nSilver chloride is used for the treatment of wines to remove fermentation and storage-related abnormal odours (caused by reduction reactions characterised by the presence of hydrogen sulphide and thiols).\nRequirements:\n(1) The treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.\n(2) The treatment must be recorded in the registers referred to in Article 147(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.\n(3) The silver chloride added to wine must be applied to an inert support, like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth), bentonite, kaolin, etc. The precipitate must be eliminated by any appropriate physical procedure and must be treated by specialised sector.",
