ANNEX  ANALYSIS METHOD FOR THE APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL NOTE 2 TO CHAPTER 7 OF THE COMBINED NOMENCLATURE  1. Principle  A weighed quantity of the pellets are dispersed in cold water, without undergoing any further physical treatment which would result in their size reduction, or any structural modification. The resulting material is sieved using a large quantity of cold water and the residue retained on the sieve is dried and weighed.  The amount of product passing through the sieve (Z) is expressed as a percentage by mass of the sample, corrected to take account of the moisture content.  2. Apparatus  2.1. analytical balance;  2.2. glass beaker, 1 1;  2.3. woven metal wire cloth sieve with an aperture of 2 mm;  2.4. filter paper, dried;  2.5. drying oven, 40 °C;  2.6. drying oven, 103 °C.  3. Procedure  Weigh at least 100 ± 0,1 g of a representative sample of the pellets into the beaker (2.2). Add 800 ml of cold water and allow to stand for at least 16 hours, with occasional gentle stirring.  Transfer the contents of the beaker to the sieve (2.3) using a large quantity of cold water. Transfer the residue retained on the sieve to a filter paper (2.4), place in the oven (2.5) at 40 °C and dry overnight. Following the overnight drying, dry the residue in the oven (2.6) at 103 °C to constant weight.  4. Calculation and expression of results  1.2.3 //  // Z = 100 -   // r × 100 i × (100 - v) 100  where  1.2 // r   // is the mass, in grams, of the dried sieved residue   // i   // is the mass, in grams, of the sample   // v   // is the moisture content of the sample determined according to the method in Section 1 of the Annex to Commission Directive 71/393/EEC (1).
