Division (2) Annex IV is amended as follows:

Part A is replaced by the following:

‘ Part A: Tolerances for the analytical constituents set out in Annexes I, V, VI and VII

(1)

The tolerances laid down in this Part include technical and analytical deviations. Once analytical tolerances covering measurement uncertainties and procedural variations are fixed at Union level, the values set in point 2 should be adapted accordingly in order to cover only the technical tolerances.

(2)

Where the composition of a feed material or compound feed is found to deviate from the labelled value of the analytical constituents set out in Annexes I, V, VI and VII the following tolerances shall apply:

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).
