or b that an application for admission, or the giving of such a notice, would defeat the object of the entry, or that the case is one of urgency, or that the premises are unoccupied or the occupier temporarily absent, the justice may by warrant signed by him authorise the authorised officer to enter the premises, if need be by reasonable force. 4 Every warrant granted under this regulation shall continue in force for a period of one month. 5 In the application of paragraph (3)— a to Scotland, any reference to a justice of the peace includes a reference to the sheriff and to a magistrate, and b to Northern Ireland, the reference to a sworn information in writing includes a reference to a sworn complaint in writing. 6 An authorised person entering any premises by virtue of this regulation, or of a warrant issued under it, may take with him such other persons and such equipment as may appear to him to be necessary for the purposes mentioned in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (1), and on leaving any unoccupied premises which he has entered by virtue of such a warrant, shall leave them as effectively secured against unauthorised entry as he found them. 7 An authorised person entering premises by virtue of this regulation, or of a warrant issued under it, shall have the right to inspect— a any material appearing to him to be a zootechnical product; b any article appearing to him to be a container or package used or intended to be used to wrap, package or store any such product, or to be a label used or intended to be used in connection with any such product; or c any plant or equipment appearing to him to be used, or intended to be used, in connection with the manufacture or production of any zootechnical product, and any process of manufacture or production of such a product, and the means employed, at any stage in the process of manufacture or production, for testing the product after it has been subject to those processes. 8 Subject to paragraph (9), an authorised person entering premises by virtue of this regulation, or of a warrant issued under it, shall have the right to take on those premises, and prepare, a sample of— a any material appearing to him to be a zootechnical product manufactured, produced, wrapped, packaged, stored, circulated, marketed or supplied, or intended to be circulated, marketed or supplied;

and b “zootechnical product” has the same meaning as that given to it in regulation 2(1), but also includes any substance or material (other than a machine or implement) appearing to be used, or intended to be used, in the manufacture or production of any zootechnical product. Division of samples 77 Where, in accordance with these Regulations, an authorised person obtains a sample, and decides to have it analysed for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is or has been any contravention of any provision of these Regulations in connection with a zootechnical product, he shall divide the sample into three parts, of as near as may be equal size and shall— a cause each part to be marked, sealed and fastened in the like manner as that prescribed— i in the case of Great Britain, in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1999, or ii in the case of Northern Ireland, in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999; b send one part for analysis to— i in Great Britain, an analyst, and ii in Northern Ireland, an agricultural analyst in Northern Ireland; c send another part to the person subject to the official check; and d retain and preserve the remaining part as an officially sealed reference sample. Supply of part of sample to manufacturer 78 If the person who manufactured any material of which an authorised person has taken a sample is not a person to whom part of the sample is required to be sent under regulation 77, that regulation shall have effect as if, for the reference to three parts, there were substituted a reference to four parts, and the authorised person shall send the fourth part to the manufacturer, unless he does not know the manufacturer’s name, or any address of his in the United Kingdom, and is unable, after making reasonable enquiries, to ascertain the name or, as the case may be, any such address, before the expiration of fourteen days from the date when the sample was taken. Statement to accompany sample 79 There shall be sent, with the part of the sample sent pursuant to regulation 77, a statement signed by the authorised person that the sample was taken in the manner referred to in regulation 76(8). Analysis by analyst 80 The analyst shall analyse the part of the sample sent to him under regulation 77, and send a certificate of the analysis, completed in the form set out in Schedule 4, and in accordance with the notes set out in that Schedule, to the authorised person, who shall send a copy to— a the person who was subjected to the official check concerned, and b any person to whom he has sent a part of the sample pursuant to regulation 78. Alternative arrangements for carrying out analyses 81 If the analyst to whom a sample is sent for analysis under regulation 77 determines that an effective analysis of the sample cannot be made by him or under his direction, he shall send it to another analyst or, in Northern Ireland, to another agricultural analyst in Northern Ireland, together with any documents received by him with the sample, and thereupon regulation 80 shall apply, as if the sample had originally been sent to that other analyst or, as the case may be, agricultural analyst in Northern Ireland. Further analysis of samples 82 1 Where a part of a sample sent pursuant to regulation 77 has been analysed, and it is intended to institute proceedings, or proceedings have been commenced, against a person for an offence under regulation 85(a), (b) or (c), and it is intended to adduce, on behalf of the prosecution, evidence of the result of the analysis of that part of the sample, the defendant, for the purpose of obtaining a second opinion, may request the authorised person to send the retained part of the sample for analysis to— a where the sample was taken in Great Britain, the Government Chemist, and b where the sample was taken in Northern Ireland, the Chief Agricultural Analyst. 2 Where a defendant requests the authorised person to send the retained part of the sample to the Government Chemist or, as the case may be, the Chief Agricultural Analyst, pursuant to paragraph (1), the following procedure shall (subject to paragraph (3)), be followed— a the authorised person shall— i send the retained part of the sample for analysis to the Government Chemist or, as the case may be, the Chief Agricultural Analyst, and ii supply the defendant with a copy of the Government Chemist’s or, as the case may be, the Chief Agricultural Analyst's, certificate of analysis of that part of the sample; and b the Government Chemist or, as the case may be, the Chief Agricultural Analyst, shall analyse the part of the sample sent to him under sub-paragraph (a) above and shall send to the authorised person a certificate of the analysis, completed in the form set out in Schedule 4, and in accordance with the notes set out in that Schedule. 3 The authorised person may in any case give notice in writing to the defendant requesting payment of a fee specified in the notice in respect of performance of the functions specified in paragraph (2)(b) and, if the fee so specified exceeds neither— a the cost of performing them, nor b the appropriate fee for the performance of any similar function under section 78 of the 1970 Act, the authorised person may, in the absence of agreement by the defendant to pay the fee, refuse to comply with the request made under paragraph (1). 4 In this regulation “defendant” includes a prospective defendant. Default Powers of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food 83 For the purposes of this Part of these Regulations, if the Minister is of opinion that, in any area within Great Britain, these Regulations have been— a insufficiently enforced or administered, or b if applicable, enforced without sufficient regard to the requirements of Directive 95/53/EC, he may himself appoint one or more persons to exercise in that area the powers exercisable there by authorised persons; and any expenses certified by him as having been incurred by him under this regulation shall be repaid to him, on demand, by the enforcement authority.
