This laboratory testing should, if necessary and especially on the first appearance of the disease, show the type, sub-type or, where appropriate, the variant of the relevant virus which may be confirmed, if necessary, be a reference laboratory designated by the Community;

laboratory testing for foot-and-mouth disease is carried out in laboratories authorised for such testing by the competent authorities;

Laboratory testing shall, if necessary and especially on the first appearance of the disease, identify the type, sub-type or the variant of the relevant pathogen, which must be confirmed by the national reference laboratory and may be confirmed, if necessary, by the Community reference laboratory referred to in Article 13.

laboratory testing to confirm the presence of foot-and-mouth disease virus or other vesicular disease viruses is carried out in accordance with Article 71 by one of the laboratories listed in Part A of Annex XI;

Laboratory testing shall be carried out by use of tests complying with the criteria for diagnostic tests as set out in Annex XIII and approved in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 89(2), and shall comply with one of the following conditions:

(vii) Sub-assemblies of stockpiled explosive ordnance should, where appropriate, undergo laboratory testing to ensure that munitions function as desired.

Further laboratory testing will contribute to a better distinction of different autonomic syndromes. Currently, they are only of supportive diagnostic value in individual patients.

` Testing` means the parts of the doping control process involving test distribution planning, sample collection, sample handling and sample transport to the laboratory.

Possible immunological obstacles in cadaveric organ transplantation and the role of the laboratory for HLA typing and histocompatibility testing within a transplantation system are presented.

Box 30. Laboratory testing:

The following rules are to be applied to the laboratory testing of products:

"3.2 Laboratory testing for the presence of scrapie in ovine and caprine animals

Sampling and laboratory testing

The reference method for laboratory testing of surfactant ultimate biodegradability in this regulation is based on the en iso standard 14593:

Where considered necessary by the customs office, it initiates, or causes to be initiated, laboratory testing, indicating the objective of the test."

diagnostic procedures, sampling and laboratory testing to detect the presence of African swine fever are carried out in accordance with the diagnostic manual;

Each Member State shall inform the Commission monthly of favourable and unfavourable results of laboratory testing that has been carried out in its border inspection posts.

The reference method for the laboratory testing of surfactants in this Regulation is based on the Confirmatory test procedure in the OECD method, described in Annex VIII.1.

Tissues from ovine and caprine animals sent for laboratory testing pursuant to the provisions of Annex III, Chapter A, Section II (Monitoring in ovine and caprine animals) shall be examined by a rapid test.

Although it is not possible to examine all the products presented for export, because the capacity for laboratory analysis is limited, where the sound and fair marketable quality of a product is the object of definite suspicions further verifications should be carried out; if necessary by means of laboratory testing;

sampling, testing and interpretation of results of laboratory tests;

specific efforts made to determine the extent of the infection in the feral pig population, by investigating feral pigs shot by hunters or found dead, and by laboratory testing, including age-stratified epidemiological investigations;

Tissues from ovine and caprine animals sent for laboratory testing pursuant to the provisions of Article 12(2) shall be subject to a histopathological examination as laid down in the latest version of the Manual, except where the material is autolysed.

Specific details of harmonised sampling and laboratory testing of different types of product will be made the subject of later implementing decisions, but in the meantime national rules should continue to apply except in the case of particular safeguard measures.
