This is used to determine a member as Chairman of the Committee. As a member of a Committee can only be ordered, who has at least three years experience in the implementation or monitoring of the classification of carcasses.

Appendix 1 (to article 7, paragraph 1, and article 12, paragraph 1) competence examination (site: Federal Law Gazette I 2008, 2193 - 2194;)
regarding the details of the changes see footnote) section 1 theory test in the theoretical exam must demonstrate the examinees that he the relevant, in annex 2 No. 2 letter a and c for the training course listed technical and legal foundations knows and understands.
Section 2 practical exam of the practical part of the exam consists of two parts: part A part B - classification - weighing and cut. The examinee has to prove that he knows to apply the theoretical knowledge in practice.
Part 1 cattle and sheep carcasses A. classification 1.
In the practical test on the classification of cattle and sheep carcasses at least 30 carcases of the respective species in categories and grades are classified by the examinees in two passes. After evaluating the first classification round the classification laid down by the examiner for each individual carcass is by talking to the examinees. The result of the second round of the classification depends on the test.
1.1. for Bovine Carcases the classifications may differ from the classification determined by the examiner to no more than a subset (conformation and fat cover). Deviations, which go beyond a subgroup, are tolerated only at 10 percent of carcasses per characteristic (conformation and fat cover). It is possible to accumulate, but not more than five deviations must be made in a characteristic. Differences in the classification of the category are tolerated only at 10 percent of the carcasses. If the allowable error rate is exceeded, the exam is not passed.
1.2. for sheep carcases the classifications may differ from the classification laid down by the examiner to no more than 10 percent per characteristic (category, conformation and fat cover). It is possible to accumulate, but not more than five deviations must be made in a characteristic. If the allowable error rate is exceeded, the exam is not passed.
2. the examination is also not passed if gender determination relevant for the determination of the category is not error-free.
B. weighing/cuts on the carcass is the 1st according to § 2 para 2 to explain meat law regulation the right cut for determining the weight of the battle. If the candidates can explain the fence not healthy, the exam is not passed.
Part 2 pig carcases A. classification in the practical test on the classification of pig carcases must set out the candidates that he dominated the function and classification devices, as well as the two-point procedure according to annex 3 of pig carcass trade class Regulation (ZP procedure). Otherwise, the exam is not passed.
I. classification with Choirometern of the candidates has to determine the mass of the slaughter line under practical conditions to 30 carcasses according to annex 2 of the pig carcass trade class regulation. A previous reference setting is not required.
1 ranking with sensor devices for sensor devices (invasive procedures) the following tolerances apply: 1.1 on the single carcass: 1.1.1 the needle must be in height (caudal/cranial) between the second and third last ribs are.
1.1.2 the needle 7 cm at the side of the dividing line (medial/lateral) allowed up to + / - 1.0 cm differ.
1.1.3 the tapers into the abdominal cavity must be 4 cm at the side of the outer edge of the vertebral body and must not exceed to + / - 0.5 cm differ.
The distance to the surface of the carcass, 8 cm caudal/cranial obtained at the end of the transverse plate of the control needle from the injection, may be no more than 1.0 cm.
1.2 for the test sample the site defined in 1.1 only in 10 per cent of cases to no more than a rib may be missed, the tolerances referred to in 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 may be exceeded up to 10 percent of cases. Accumulate is allowed, but not more than five overruns are permitted per feature. If the allowable error rate is exceeded, the exam is not passed.
2. classification with ultrasonic devices for ultrasonic devices (non invasive procedure) are based on the marking point following tolerances: 2.1 on the single carcass: 2.1.1 the selection point lies above at the CSB Ultrameater 7 cm at the side of the dividing line, 12 cm (caudal) of the measuring point at the US Porkitron (gun with aluminium housing) 7 cm at the side of the dividing line, 11 cm above (caudal) of the measuring point and the US Porkitron (gun with plastic housing) 7 cm at the side of the dividing line , 8 cm above (caudal) of the measuring point.
The marking point may deviate cranial/caudal and medial/lateral up to 1.0 cm.
2.1.2 / cross-beams of the marking must / have to horizontal at the US Porkitron. The extension of the Crosspiece (cross-beams located near aluminium pistols of the caudal) shall not deviate on the dividing line caudal/cranial up to 1.0 cm.
At the CSB Ultrameater, the video recordings of the classified carcasses are used for controlling the sound outlet of the correct.
2.2 for the test sample, under 2.1 above tolerances for measurements on each carcass must be each exceeded in no more than 10 percent of the cases. Accumulate is allowed, but not more than five overruns are allowed per tolerance characteristic. If the allowable error rate is exceeded, the exam is not passed.
II. the function which are commissioning and testing the AutoFOM equipment by the test participants properly to explain classification with AutoFOM equipment and to demonstrate. The exam covers the following sections: (1) testing the software, 2. examination of the hardware, 3. examination of the technical environment, 4. calibration inspections and 5. General controls.
If the candidates can not explain the function, commissioning and testing the AutoFOM equipment and demonstrate, the exam is not passed.
III. classification with the ZP procedure 1.
The measured values (reference values) for examination in the ZP procedure to be written by investigator to at least 20 pig carcasses. The reference values are determined by measurements on pig carcasses according to Appendix 3 of the pig carcass trade class regulation.
2. examiners and examinees have to use the same measuring tool.
3. carry out two test passes. The results of the first round are to discuss with the participants. The second round of testing is not required for the examinees who have provided the set values within the under 4 mentioned tolerances to every animal slaughtered in the first round of testing.
4 in the second round, the candidates must provide the set values within the following tolerances: 4.1 on the single carcass may not exceed to the values measured by it from the calculated reference values at the fat + / - 2 mm and the meat mass no more than + / - 3 mm deviate.
4.2 differences that go beyond the 4.1 above ground, be tolerated maximum for each 10 percent of carcasses; These accumulate is allowed, but not more than five overruns are allowed per tolerance characteristic.
4.3 (fallen off) if the allowable error rate is exceeded, the examination is fail.
Annex 2 (to section 7 para 2 and § 15 para 1) training course content (reference: BGBl. I 2008, 2195) the training course consists of a practical and a theoretical part: 1. practical part In the practical part is to explain the correct cut according to § 2 para 2 1 meat law implementation regulation and the weighing of carcasses and to teach the correct use of classification systems and classification equipment approved in Germany and classification procedures.
2. theoretical part in following areas of knowledge In the theoretical part: a) subject-specific knowledge of - the classification systems and the approved classification procedures, - the application, function and inspection of classification equipment, - the battle body Anatomy and the fence and - the basics of battle technology, b) the structure of the livestock and meat industry and the responsibilities of the institutions involved, as well as c) the relevant legal standards, in particular aa) European and national provisions on trade classes and prices for the respective species (cattle , Pig or sheep carcasses), bb) cc commercial grade law,) the meat Act and its implementing regulations, dd) food hygiene law (extracts), ee) the calibration right (excerpts), ff) the animal transport regulation (excerpts), gg) hh food and feed code (extracts),) the provisions on beef labelling (excerpts) and ii) food labelling law (excerpts).
