For this process, the dry matter content must be between 15 % and 70 %.
(b) The amount of lime which has to be added must be determined in such way that one of the
combinations of time and temperature set out in point (f) is achieved.
(c) The particle size of the animal by-products to be processed must be no greater than 12 mm.
If necessary, the particles of the manure must be reduced in size in such a way that that maximum
particle size is achieved.
(d) The manure must be mixed with quick lime (CaO) which has a medium to high reactivity of less than
six minutes to achieve a 40 °C rise in temperature as per the criteria in the reactivity test 5.10 in the
CEN EN 459-2:2002 method (**).
The mixing must be carried out with two mixers which are operating in line, with two screws per
mixer.
Both mixers must:
(i) have a screw diameter of 0,55 m and a screw length of 3,5 m;
(ii) operate with a power of 30 kW and a rotation speed of the screw of 156 rpm;
(iii) have a treatment capacity of 10 tonnes per hour.
The mean blending duration must be approximately two minutes.
(e) The mixture must be mixed for a period of at least six hours into a stockpile with a minimum size of
two tonnes.
(f) At monitoring points which must be introduced into the stockpile, continuous measurements must
be carried out to demonstrate that the mixture in the stockpile reaches a pH of at least 12 during one
of the following periods of time, during which period one of the corresponding following
temperatures must be achieved:
(i) 60 °C for 60 minutes; or
(ii) 70 °C for 30 minutes.
(g) The process must be carried out in a batch mode.
(h) A permanent written procedure based on the HACCP principles must be put in place.
(i) Operators may demonstrate to the competent authority, by way of a validation according to the
following requirements, that a process using a mixing device which is different from the mixing
device referred to in point (d) or using dolime (CaOMgO) instead of quick lime is at least as efficient
as the process set out in points (a) to (h):
That validation must:
— demonstrate that by using the different mixing device to that referred to in point (d) or the
dolime, as applicable, a mixture with manure can be produced which achieves the parameters for
pH, time and temperature referred to in point (f);
— be based on monitoring of time and temperature at the base, the middle and at the top of the
stockpile, with a representative number of monitoring points (at least four monitoring points in
the basal zone, which are located at a maximum of 10 cm above the base and at a maximum of
10 cm below the top, one monitoring point in the middle half way between base and the top of
stockpile, and four monitoring points in the marginal zone at the top of the pile, which are
located at a maximum of 10 cm below the surface and at a maximum of 10 cm below the top of
the stockpile);
— be carried out during two periods of at least 30 days, of which one must be in the cold season of
the year at the geographical place where the mixing device is to be used.

(3) In Annex V, in Chapter III, in Section 3, the following point 3 is added:
‘3. When animal by-products are transformed into biogas or composted together with materials which are not of
animal origin, the competent authority may authorise operators to take representative samples after the pasteur
isation referred to in point 1(a) of Section 1 of Chapter I or after composting referred to in point 1 of Section 2,
as applicable, and before the mixing with materials which are not of animal origin takes place, in order to
monitor the efficiency of the transformation or composting of the animal by-products, as applicable.’
(4) In Annex VII, in Chapter II, points 1, 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
‘1. Applications shall contain all the necessary information to allow EFSA to assess the safety of the proposed
alternative method, and in particular describe:
— the categories of animal by-products intended to be submitted to the method,
— the entire process,
— the biological hazards for human and animal health involved, and
— the degree of risk reduction to be achieved by the process.
2. The application referred to in paragraph 1 shall moreover:
(a) indicate the applicable points in Articles 8, 9 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 including the
physical status of those materials and, if applicable, any pre-treatment to which those materials have
been submitted and indicating any materials other than animal by-products which are to be used in the
process.
(b) include a HACCP protocol and a flow diagram which clearly indicates the individual steps of the process,
identifies the parameters critical for the inactivation of relevant pathogens such as temperature, pressure,
exposure time, adjustment of the pH value and particle size and is complemented by technical data sheets of
the equipment used during the process;
(c) identify and characterize biological hazards for human and animal health represented by the categories of
animal by-products intended to be submitted to the method;
(d) show that the most resistant biological hazards associated with the category of materials to be processed are
reduced in any products generated during the process, including the waste water, at least to the degree
achieved by the processing standards laid down in this Regulation for the same category of animal by-
products. The degree of risk reduction must be determined with validated direct measurements, unless
modelling or comparisons with other processes are acceptable.
3. Validated direct measurements as referred to in paragraph 2(d) above shall mean:
(a) measuring the reduction of viability/infectivity of: endogenous indicator organisms during the process, where
the indicator is:
— consistently present in the raw material in high numbers;
— not less resistant to the lethal aspects of the treatment process, but also not significantly more resistant
than the pathogens for which it is being used to monitor;
— relatively easy to quantify, to identify and to confirm; or
(b) using a well-characterised test organism or virus introduced in a suitable test body into the starting material.
If several treatment steps are involved, an assessment must be performed on the degree to which individual
titre reduction steps are additive, or whether early steps in the process may compromise the efficacy of
subsequent steps;

(v) indicating the sensitivity and the specificity of the detection methods used;
(vi) providing data on the repeatability and statistical variability of the measurements obtained during the
experiments;
(vii) justifying, if used the significance of prion surrogates;
(viii) showing, where in absence of direct measurements, models or comparisons with other processes are
used, that the factors leading to risk reduction are well known and the model of risk reduction is well
established;
(ix) providing data for the entire process on direct measurements of all factors leading to the risk reduction
which demonstrate that these factors are homogenously applied throughout the treated batch.
4. The HACCP plan referred to in paragraph 2(b) must be based on the critical parameters which are used to obtain
the risk reduction, in particular:
— temperature,
— pressure,
— time, and
— microbiological criteria.
The critical limits retained in the HACCP plan must be defined, based on the results of the experimental
validation and/ or of the model provided.
If the successful functioning of the process can only be demonstrated with reference to technical parameters
which are specifically related to the equipment used in the process, the HACCP plan must also include the
technical limits which must be met, in particular energy uptake, number of pump strokes or dosage of
chemicals.
Information must be given on the critical and technical parameters that are to be monitored and recorded in a
continuous manner or after defined intervals and on the methods used for measuring and monitoring.
The variability of parameters under typical production conditions must be taken into account.
The HACCP plan must reflect normal and abnormal/ emergency operating conditions including a breakdown of
the process and it must specify possible corrective actions which are to be applied in the case of abnormal/
emergency operating conditions.
5. The applications shall also contain sufficient information on:
(a) the risks associated with interdependent processes, and in particular on the outcome of an evaluation of
possible indirect impacts, which may:
(i) influence the level of risk reduction of a particular process;
(ii) arise from transport or storage of any products generated during the process and from the safe disposal
of such products, including waste water.

(b) the risks associated with the intended end use of the products, in particular:
(i) the intended end use of any products generated during the process must be specified;
(ii) the likely risks for human health and animal health and possible impacts on the environment must be
assessed on the basis of the risk reduction estimated in accordance with point 2(d).
6. Applications shall be submitted with documentary evidence, in particular:
(a) a flow diagram showing the functioning of the process;
(b) the evidence referred to in point 2(d), as well as other evidence aiming to substantiate the information
provided in the framework of the application as set out in point 2.
7. Applications shall include a contact address for the interested party, which shall include the name and full
address, telephone and/or fax number and/or the electronic mail address of a particular person that is
responsible as or on behalf of the interested party.’
