Article 1

Authorisation

The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

4a48 Name of the holder of authorisation Additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method Species or category of animal Maximum age Novozymes A/S 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) Other provisions End of period of authorisation Additive composition Preparation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 having a minimum activity of: Solid form: 10 000 FYT [^E0001]/g. Liquid form: 20 000 FYT/g. Characterisation of the active substance 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced with Aspergillus oryzae DSM 33737 Analytical method [^E0002] For the quantification of phytase activity in the feed additive: — colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – VDLUFA 27.1.4. For the quantification of phytase activity in premixtures: — colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – VDLUFA 27.1.3. For the quantification of phytase activity in compound feed: — colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – EN ISO 30024. All poultry species for fattening or reared for laying or reared for breeding - 200 FYT - 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address the 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 eye (only for the two solid formulations), breathing and skin protective equipment. 23 September 2034
4a48 Sows of all Suidae species 200 FYT
4a48 All fin fish 1 000 FYT

One Phytase Unit (FYT) is defined as the amount of enzyme that releases 1 μmol of inorganic phosphate from phytate per minute (concentration of 5,0 mM) at pH 5,5 and 37 °C.
