ANNEX II Component Material Categories (CMCs) An EU fertilising product shall consist solely of component materials complying with the requirements for one or more of the CMCs listed in this Annex. The component materials, and the input materials used to produce them, shall … 4,867 unchanged words … not exposed to the test material. The results shall be considered to be valid, if the variation between replicate control samples (blank soil) and test samples is less than 20 %. CMC 10: DERIVED PRODUCTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION (EC) NO No 1069/2009 1. An EU fertilising product may contain derived products within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 having reached the end point in the manufacturing chain as determined in accordance with that Regulation, and which are listed in the following table and as specified therein therein: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1605 of 22 May 2023 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of end points in the manufacturing chain of certain organic fertilisers and soil improvers (OJ L 198, 8.8.2023, p. 1). Sum of naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene and benzo[ghi]perylene. No The table will be established component material Additional requirements Processed manure fulfilling the conditions in Article 3(d) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1605 1.1. An EU fertilising product may contain processed manure only if it was treated to reach an end point according to Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 at the latest 36 months before signing the EU declaration of conformity for the respective product and the material underwent additional processing so that at least one of the following conditions is met: (a) at least 90 % by delegated acts dry mass of the material can pass through a sieve with a mesh of 0,25 mm; (b) the material has been granulated under pressure, pelletised, dried at temperatures higher than 100 °C or has undergone any equivalent process that ensures that the content of viable weed seeds and plant propagules in the processed manure is no more than 3 units/l; or (c) the material fulfills at least one of the stability criteria set out in point 5 of CMC 3. 1.2. The material referred to in Article 42(5).: point 1.1 may undergo one or more of the following additional processes: (a) the processing methods referred to in CMC 2; (b) biological treatment involving nitrification and denitrification; (c) mechanical separation of the solid and liquid fractions; (d) processes to recover nutrients and/or organic carbon, without the intention to otherwise modify the material; (e) chemical processing to modify the pH without the intention to otherwise modify the material; (f) physical processing to remove water and to transform the material into powder, granules or pellets, without the intention to otherwise modify the material. 1.3. Additives needed in the processing referred to in points 1.1 and 1.2 may be used provided that: (a) the additive complies with the requirement set out in point 2 of CMC 1; (b) the concentration of the additives needed in each of the processes does not exceed 5 % of the weight of the processed manure or fraction used as input in the respective process. 1.4. The processed manure shall contain no more than 6 mg/kg dry matter of PAH16 . 1.5. The processed manure to be used as component material in an EU fertilising product shall be stored in a way that protects it against precipitation and direct sunlight. 2. Where compliance with the requirement set out in point 1.4 follows certainly and uncontestably from the nature or the processing of the component material or the manufacturing process of the EU fertilising product, such compliance may be presumed in the conformity assessment procedure without verification (such as testing), under the responsibility of the manufacturer. CMC 11: BY-PRODUCTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF DIRECTIVE 2008/98/EC 1. An EU fertilising product may contain by-products within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC, except The exclusion of a material from CMC 11 does not prevent it from being an eligible component material … 5,245 unchanged words … product only if they have been manufactured maximum 36 months before signing the EU declaration of conformity for the respective EU fertilising product. (10) The high purity material shall comply with the requirement set out in point 2 in CMC 1.

ANNEX III Labelling requirements This Annex sets out the labelling requirements for EU fertilising products. The requirements laid down in Part II and Part III of this Annex for a given PFC, as specified in Annex I, apply to EU fertilising products … 1,026 unchanged words … of the high purity material or the production process of the EU fertilising product containing such a material, as applicable, the label may contain no information on these parameters, without verification (such as testing), at the responsibility of the manufacturer. 7c. Where an EU fertilising product contains processed manure as referred to in Part II, CMC 10, of Annex II, information about the possible air quality impacts of the release of ammonia from the product’s use and an invitation to users to apply appropriate remediation measures shall be included on the label. Where an EU fertilising product contains processed manure as referred to in Part II, CMC 10, of Annex II, the following warning shall be included on the label This product may contain aminopyralid or clopyralid and must not be used for the production of plants susceptible to these substances, such as beans, clover, lentils, peas, salat, sunflowers and tomatoes. This product must be used in such a manner as to avoid leading to the exceedance of the maximum residue levels for food or feed set in accordance with Regulation (EC) 396/2005, or a similar warning. Such a warning is not needed for EU fertilising products containing processed manure with no more than 50 μg aminopyralid or clopyralid/kg dry matter. 7d. Where an EU fertilising product contains a component material out of manure, the total content of nitrogen originated out of manure shall be indicated. 8. Information other than the information required under points 1 to 6: (a) shall not mislead the user, for example by attributing to the product properties that it does not possess, or by suggesting that the product possesses unique characteristics which … 5,844 unchanged words … deviation More than 25 up to 100 ± 10 % relative deviation More than 100 up to 250 ± 6 % relative deviation More than 250 up to 500 ± 5 % relative deviation More than 500 ± 25 g/kg or ± 25 g/l
