Updates International Database Transport for Feed (IDTF)

16-12-2015

There have been agreed several changes for the IDTF by the International Committee for Road Transport (GMP+ International, OVOCOM, QS, Qualimat, GTP, AIC and Gafta). The changes are now implemented in the IDTF. Please find here further information about the changes.

1. Clear IDTF-number and product name for animal fats of category 3

The entries in the IDTF for animal fats of category 3 have been summarized. Previously, there were three IDTF-numbers and product names:

Previous IDTF-no.	Previous product name
30316	Animal fats of category 3 derived from non-ruminants
30343	Animal fats of category 3, fully or partially derived from ruminants
30381	Category 3 animal fats fully or partially derived from ruminants (non-feed / non- food)

As it is legally specified which products can be used as category 3 material and be processed to animal fats, the distinction between “derived from non-ruminants” and “derived from ruminants” has been removed. Two IDTF-numbers have been deleted and one number has been changed. From now on there is only one entry for animal fat of category 3 in the IDTF with a precise description and cleaning regime:

IDTF-no.	Product name	Cleaning regime
30316	Animal fats of category 3	C

The previous IDTF-numbers 30343 and 30381 have been deleted.

Publication date: 16/12/2015

Mandatory from: 16/04/2016

2. Renaming and change of cleaning regime for Metamix

As it should be avoided to use brand names as product names in the IDTF, the IDTF-nr. 40252 has been renamed. As of now, it will be called “Iron silicate granules”. Metamix is mentioned as brand name example. Due to new findings, the cleaning regime for Iron silicate granules has been changed from A to B.

IDTF-no.	Product name	Cleaning regime
40252	Iron silicate granules	B

Publication date: 16/12/2015

Mandatory from: 16/04/2016

3. New products:

The following products and cleaning regime have now been incorporated into the IDTF:

• Solid recovered fuel (SRF)

IDTF-no.	Product name	Cleaning regime
10143	Solid recovered fuel (SRF)	Forbidden

The synonym for this product is Refuse-derived fuel (RDF).

(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammoniumchloride

IDTF-no.	Product name	Cleaning regime
30449	(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammoniumchloride	C

This is a cationization reagens and sometimes known under the brand name Réactiv RCR 65% MS Standard.

• Filler fly ash

IDTF-no.	Product name	Cleaning regime
30450	Filler fly ash	forbidden for Qualimat C for all other standards

Filler fly ash will be added to the list of differences.

The above changes to the IDTF are applicable immediately and are binding.
