Can centers slaughtering 75 adult bovine animals or less per week carry out classification under the BCC scheme? 7. Following the implementation of Statutory Instruments ‘The Beef and Pig Carcase Classification (England) Regulations 2010 (1090 / 2010) and The Beef and Pig Carcase Classification (Wales) Regulations 2011 No 1826 (W.198), small scale operators in England and Wales may choose to register and classify adult bovine animals under the Beef Carcase Classification scheme. In instances where such an operator chooses to classify bovine carcases they will be required to meet the scheme requirements on all adult bovine carcases at their plant. Please note that a small scale operator is deemed to be an operator of an approved slaughterhouse at which not more than 75 adult bovine animals per week, as an annual average, are slaughtered. Who undertakes the classification of carcases? 8. A slaughterhouse may use their own employees who have obtained a classification licence or another suitably qualified person / company who have the appropriate classification licence.
