4H-1,3,5-dithiazine and thiamine hydrochlor ide as feed additiv es for all animal species 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regar d to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 
on additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provi des for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting such author isation. Article 10 of that Regulation provid es for the re- 
evaluation of additives author ised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). 
(2)  The substances 2,4,5-tr imethyl thiazole, 2-isobutylthiazole, 5-(2-hy droxyeth yl)-4-meth ylthiazole, 2-acetylthiazole, 
2-ethy l-4- methylthiazole, 5,6-dihydro-2,4,6,tr is(2-meth ylprop yl)4H-1,3,5-dithiazine and thiamine hydrochlori de  
(‘substances concer ned’) were author ised without a time limit by Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all 
animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Regist er of feed additives as existing products, in 
accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(3)  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an 
application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concer ned as feed additives for all animal 
species. The applicant request ed that those additives be classified in the additive categor y ‘sensor y additives ’. That 
application was accompan ied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) 
No 1831/2003. 
(4)  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 Apr il 2016 (3) that, under 
the proposed conditions of use, the substances concer ned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human 
health or the envi ronment. The Author ity has concluded that, since the substances concer ned are used in food as 
flavourings and their function in feed is essentially the same as in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is 
necessar y. Theref ore, that conclusion can be extrapolat ed to feed. The applicant withdrew the application for use 
of the substances concer ned in water for drinking. 
(5)  The Auth ority further note d that for the substances concer ned hazards for the skin, eye contact and respirato ry 
exposure are recognised. Most substances are classifie d as irritating to the respirato ry system. Consequently , 
appropr iate prote ctive measures should be taken. The Author ity does not consider that there is a need for 
specific requirements of post-market monitori ng. It also verified the repor t on the method of analysis of the feed 
additives in feed submitt ed by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(6)  The assessment of the substances concer ned shows that the conditions for author isation, as provided for in 
Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. According ly, the use of those substances should be 
author ised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. 
(7)  The applicant proposed use levels for the substances concer ned to the Author ity. Having regard to that proposal, 
the Author ity considered that certain use levels are safe (‘levels considered by the Author ity’). For the purpose of 
official controls along the food chain, certain labelling requirements should be provid ed for. In particular , where 
the use levels exceed the levels considered by the Author ity, it is appropr iate to require that the label of 
premixtures, and the labelling of feed mater ials and compo und feed containing the substances concer ned include 
certain information including referen ce to the levels considered by the Author ity. 23.2.2018 L 53/109 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29. 
(2)Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concer ning additives in feedingstuffs (OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1). 
(3)EFSA Journal 2016;14(4):4441. (8)  The fact that the use of the substance concer ned in wate r for drinking is not author ised does not preclude its use 
in compound feed which is administered via water . 
(9) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifi cations to the conditions of author is­
ation for the substances concer ned, it is appropr iate to allow a transitional period for inter ested parties to 
prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the author isation. 
(10)  The measures provi ded for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGUL ATION: 
Article 1 
Author isation 
The substances specifi ed in the Annex, belonging to the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives ’ and to the functional group 
‘flavouri ng compounds’, are author ised as feed additives in animal nutr ition subject to the conditions laid down in that 
Annex. 
Article 2 
Transitional measures 
1. The substances specified in the Annex and premixtures containing those substances belonging to the additive 
catego ry ‘sensor y additives ’ and to the functional group ‘flavouri ng compounds’ which are produced and labelled before 
15 Sept ember 2018 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 March 2018 may continue to be placed on the 
mark et and used until the existing stoc ks are exhaust ed. 
2. Feed mate rials and compo und feed containing the substances belonging to, the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives’ 
and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’ as specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 
15 March 2019 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 March 2018 may continue to be placed on the 
mark et and used until the existing stoc ks are exhaust ed if they are intended for food-producing animals. 
3. Feed mate rials and compo und feed containing the substances belonging to, the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives’ 
and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’ as specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 
15 March 2020 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 March 2018 may continue to be placed on the 
mark et and used until the existing stoc ks are exhaust ed if they are intended for non-f ood-producing animals. 
Article 3
