In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage and stability conditions shall be indicated. 3. The recommended maximum content of the active substance shall be: 5 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %. 4. On the label of the additive the following shall be indicated: ‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: 5 mg/kg’. 5. The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated on the labelling of the premixtures, feed materials and compound feedingstuffs, if the following content of the active substance in complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % is exceeded: 5 mg/kg. 6. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by dermal contact or eyes contact. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves. | 6 February 2027 |
