The official inspector hereby certifies that the processed bivalve molluscs of the species Acanthocardia tuberculatum, certified in the health certificate reference No: …


1.. were harvested in production areas clearly identified, monitored and authorised by the competent authority for the purpose of Commission Decision 2006/766/EC, and where the PSP level in the edible parts of these molluscs is lower than 300 μg for 100g ;
2.. were transported in containers or vehicles sealed by the competent authority, directly to the establishment:
…
…
(name and official approval number of the establishment, especially authorised by the competent authority to carry out their treatment);
3.. were accompanied during the transport to this establishment by a document issued by the competent authority which authorises the transport, attesting to the nature and quantity of the product, area of origin and establishment of destination;
4.. were subjected to the heat treatment to the Annex to Decision 96/77/EC;
5.. do not contain a PSP level detectable by the bioassay method, as demonstrated by the attached analytical report(s) of the test undertaken on each lot included in the consignment covered by this attestation.

ANNEX III

The following Annex VIa on testing methods for raw milk and heat-treated milk is added to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005:

ANNEX VIa 
CHAPTER I 1. 

((a)) EN/ISO 4833 for the plate count at 30 oC;
((b)) ISO 13366-1 for the somatic cell count.
 2. 

((a)) For the plate count at 30 oC, when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1(a) in accordance with the protocol set out in EN/ISO standard 16140 or other similar internationally accepted protocols.
In particular the conversion relationship between an alternative method and the reference method mentioned in point 1(a) is established according to ISO standard 21187.
((b)) For the somatic cell count, when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1(b) in accordance with the protocol set out in ISO 8196 and when operated in accordance with ISO standard 13366-2 or other similar internationally accepted protocols.

CHAPTER II 1. When determining alkaline phosphatase activity, ISO standard 11816-1 must be applied as reference method.
 2. The alkaline phosphatase activity is expressed as milliunits of enzyme activity per litre (mU/l). A unit of alkaline phosphatase activity is the amount of alkaline phosphatase enzyme that catalyses the transformation of 1 micromole of substrate per minute.
 3. An alkaline phosphatase test is considered to give a negative result if the measured activity in cow's milk is not higher than 350 mU/l.
 4. The use of alternative analytical methods is acceptable when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1 in accordance with internationally accepted protocols.
