ANNEX IISupplementary provisions

ANNEX II Identification number of the feed additive Name of the additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation mg of additive/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % Category: technological additives. Functional group: binders 1g563 Sepiolitic clay Additive composition Hydrated magnesium silicate of sedimentary origin, containing ≥ 40 % sepiolite and ≥ 25 % illite. Powder form. Characterisation of the active substance Sepiolite (hydrous magnesium silicate): ≥ 40 % CAS number: 63800-37-3 Einecs number: 264-465-3 Chemical formula: Mg 4 Si 6 O 15 (OH) 2 ·6H 2 O. Illite (potassium and iron aluminium silicate): ≥ 25 % CAS number: 12173-60-3 Einecs number: 601-803-4 Chemical formula: (K,H 3 O)(Al,Mg,Fe) 2 (Si,Al) 4 O 10 [(OH) 2 ·(H 2 O)] Carbonates (dolomite, calcium and magnesium carbonate): ≤ 35 % Free of asbestos  ( 1 ) Impurities: Nickel ≤ 20,3 mg/kg Analytical method  ( 2 ) For the characterisation of the feed additive: — X-ray diffraction (XRD) and — X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). — Ruminants for milk production or reproduction — Weaned piglets of porcine species — Porcine species for fattening — Salmonids — Chickens for fattening   - 20 000 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions shall be indicated. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including skin and breathing protection. Particular attention shall be given to compliance with Union legislation on the protection of workers from the inhalation risks related to exposure to crystalline silica and nickel. 28 February 2033 Identification number of the feed additive Name of the additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation mg of additive/kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % Category: technological additives.
