Abstract

These Regulations provide for dressing, classification, weighing and labelling of carcases of adult bovine animals slaughtered at export approved premises. These Regulations also concern the use of mechanical classification and also price reporting by plants. A person who has completed suitable training and wishes to become a licensed classifier shall apply to the Minister for a licence to classify carcases at such export premises as are specified in the application (reg. 3). Immediately following classification, the slaughterer shall label the carcase in accordance with the Community Regulations and the directions of the Minister (reg. 6). The slaughterer shall apply an identifying number to each carcase within one hour of slaughter (reg. 8). Regulation 12 specifies powers of supervisory officers. (19 Regulations)
