1 Processed manure  
fulfilling the 
conditions in 
Article 3(d) of 
Delegated

than 25 mmol O 2/kg organic matter/h.  
1.2 The p rocessed manure shall contain no more t han 6 mg/kg dry 
matter of PAH 16**.  
1.3 An EU fertilising product may contain processed manure, or a 
fraction thereof, which has undergone cutting, gri nding, 
milling, sieving, sifting, centrifugation, pressing, granulation, 
drying, frost treatment, freeze -drying, extraction with water, 
supercritical CO 2 extraction, biological treatment involving 
nitrification and denitrification.  
1.4 An EU fertilising produc t may contain a solid or liquid 
fraction obtained by mechanical separation of processed 
manure.  
1.5 An EU fertilising product may contain processed manure, or a 
fraction thereof, from which all or part of the ammonium, 
phosphate or organic matter  has been remo ved to recover 
nitrogen, phosphorus and/or organic carbon , without the 
intention to otherwise modify the processed manure or a 
fraction thereof.  
1.6 An EU fertilising product may contain processed manure, or a 
fraction thereof, which has undergone chemical pro cessing to 
modify the pH without the intention to otherwise modify the 
processed manure or a fraction thereof .  
1.7 Additives needed in the processing referred to in points 1.3 to 
1.6 may be used provided that:  
(a) the additive complies with the requirement set out in point 
2 of CMC 1;  
(b) the concentration of the additives needed in each of the 
processes does not exceed 5 % of the weight of the 
processed manure or fraction used as input in the 
respective process . 
1.8 Proces sed manure stored in a way that protect s it against 
precipitation and direct sunlight may be added to an EU

from the product’s use and an invitation to users to apply appropriate remediation measures 
shall be included on the label.  
Where an EU fertilisin g product contains  processed manure as referred to in Part II, CMC 10, 
of  Annex II and the processed manure contains  aminopyralid  or clopyralid exceeding  50 µg/kg  
dry matter , the maximum concentration of that substance in the EU fertilising product shall  be 
indicated, together with a warning that the EU fertilising product must not be used  for the 
production of plants susceptible to these substances  or in such a manner as to risk leading to 
the exceedance of the maximum residue levels for food or feed set  in accordance with 
Regulation (EC) 396/2005 .’.
