2.1.4.3.
Number of determinations Determinations shall be performed on different sub-samples of 50 g each.
If, following the first determination carried out in accordance with the observation flowchart in Diagram 1, or Diagram 3 when appropriate, no animal particles are detected, no additional determination shall be necessary and the result of the analysis shall be reported using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.1.
If, following the first determination carried out in accordance with the observation flowchart in Diagram 1, one or more animal particles of a given nature (i.e. terrestrial vertebrates or fish) are detected and the nature of the particles found confirms the declared content of the sample, no second determination shall be necessary.
If the number of the animal particles of a given nature detected during this first determination is higher than 5, the result of the analysis shall be reported per animal nature using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.3.
Otherwise, the result of the analysis shall be reported per animal nature using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.2.
If, following the first determination carried out in accordance with the observation flowchart in Diagram 3, more than 5 particles of terrestrial invertebrates are detected, no second determination shall be necessary and the result of the analysis shall be reported using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.3 for this nature.
In all other cases, including when no declaration of content has been provided to the laboratory, a second determination shall be carried out from a new sub-sample.
If, following the second determination carried out in accordance with the observation flowchart in Diagram 2, or Diagram 3 when appropriate, the sum of the animal particles of a given nature detected over the two determinations is higher than 10, the result of the analysis shall be reported per animal nature using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.3.
Otherwise, the result of the analysis shall be reported per animal nature using the wording set out in point 2.1.5.2.
