Champ d’application

This standard applies to cattle and sheep slaughtering plants and specifies the procedures for ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection. It is designed for facilities processing bovine and ovine products to ensure meat quality and sensory characteristics. It does not cover the inspection of infectious or parasitic diseases, which are regulated under separate national protocols.

Exigences techniques

The standard outlines ante-mortem inspection protocols, including acceptance, resting, and pre-slaughter checks. It mandates specific handling for animals showing abnormalities, requiring segregation into isolation pens or emergency slaughter areas. Animals must undergo fasting and rest periods before slaughter, with specific temperature monitoring requirements for cattle. For post-mortem inspection, the standard details sensory evaluation methods (visual, tactile, olfactory) for heads, viscera, and carcasses. It requires synchronized numbering of parts for comparative examination. Inspectors must identify specific lesions, tumors, and parasitic infections across various organs including the heart, liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. The standard categorizes non-conforming meat products and their corresponding disposal methods. It defines specific conditions under which meat must be subjected to high-temperature processing, used as reproduction raw material, deemed non-edible, or destroyed. Section 5.5 and Appendix A are designated as mandatory provisions, dictating the strict handling of affected carcasses. Appendix A specifies the design and dimensions for inspection stamps, including those for qualified meat and various harmless treatment categories. These stamps, such as the high-temperature or destruction marks, are critical for traceability and compliance enforcement.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard relies primarily on sensory inspection methods rather than laboratory testing. This includes visual observation, palpation, and olfactory checks. Specific procedures involve lymph node palpation, organ elasticity testing, and temperature measurement for live animals. Facilities must implement a synchronized inspection system where heads, carcasses, viscera, and hides are numbered and examined concurrently to identify systemic diseases.
