European Communities (Beef Carcase Classification) Regulations, 1994.

These Regulations pertain to the labelling, stamping and classification of adult bovine animals slaughtered at meat export premises. These Regulations also concern the identification of carcases by reference to conformation, fat class, sex category and weight. Immediately after the determinations referred to in regulation 3 of these Regulations have been made in relation to a carcase the slaughterer shall record in writing those determinations on a daily classification sheet. The slaughterer shall establish and operate a system of identification of carcases that is adequate to enable the information in relation to the conformation, fat cover, categories and weights of carcases and the prices paid by him to vendors for the live bovine animals from which the carcases derive to be related to the animals from which the carcases are derived and to enable each carcase to be identified.
