If, after the examination carried out in a suspected holding, clinical signs or lesions suggestive of classical swine fever are not detected, but further laboratory tests are deemed necessary by the competent authority to rule out classical swine fever, the sampling procedures laid down in subparagraph 5 shall be used for guidance purposes.

Design, Setting, and Participants Analysis of data from the US population-based Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) on participants aged 20 years or older who had no previously diagnosed diabetes, who were randomly assigned to morning (n = 6483) or afternoon (n = 6399) examinations, and who fasted prior to blood sampling. Main

In the case of examination for residues by sampling, examination shall be carried out for the residues referred to in Group A III and Group B I (a) and (c) and II (a) of Annex I to Directive 86/469/EEC (1).

A. GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLINICAL EXAMINATION OF AND SAMPLING ON PIGS IN SUSPECTED HOLDINGS

The Commission limited its examination by applying sampling in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.

clicking by sampling at post mortem examination has been made on old ewes culled from the holding(s) with negative results,

the estimated unit costs for sampling and laboratory examination, as well as estimated total costs for carrying out the operations.

sampling of intermediate products and examination of the butterfats used, to check the composition as indicated in the above records,

Whereas rules for the microbiological testing by sampling should be laid down by determining the sampling method, the number of samples to be taken and the microbiological method for the examination of the samples;

These rapid techniques have to be supplemented with a virological examination according to either A or B within 48 hours after sampling, if:

If the collected supernatant is stored at -80 °C within 48 hours after the sampling it may be reused only once for virological examination.

If the collected supernatant is stored at -80 °C within 48 hours after the sampling it may be reused only once for virological examination.

All sampling equipment shall be made of suitable material of adequate strength, which does not bring about a change in the sample which may affect any result of the subsequent examination and should not cause any change in the samples while sampling is carried out.

All sampling equipment shall be made of suitable material of adequate strength, which does not bring about a change in the sample which may affect any result of the subsequent examination and should not cause any change in the samples while sampling is being carried out.

- a clinical examination, as laid down in point 3, and blood sampling, as laid down in point 5 must be carried out in the subunit where the dead or moribund pigs were kept, and

The materials of which sampling equipment (including containers and closures) is constructed must not cause any change in the sample which could affect the results of the examinations.

The nature of these checks, their frequency and the methods of sampling and of carrying out microbiological examinations shall be established under the procedure laid down in Article 20.

In order to maintain approved status of a zone or a farm in a non-approved zone for VHS and/or IHN, inspections and sampling for examination must be carried out in accordance with Table 1C.

- a clinical examination, as laid down in subparagraph 3, and blood sampling as laid down in subparagraph 5 must be carried out in the sub-unit where the dead or moribund pigs were kept; and

Whereas the Community financial aid will consist of a partial reimbursement of the expenditure incurred by the Member States for sampling operations and the necessary laboratory examinations;

The nature of the checks, their frequency and the methods of sampling and of carrying out microbiological examinations shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 31.

(5) Rules should be established for this microbiological examination of samples by laying down the sampling method, the number of samples to be taken and the microbiological methods for examining the samples.

Whereas rules should be established for this microbiological examination of samples by laying down the sampling method, the number of samples to be taken and the microbiological method for examining the samples;

However, if the derogation provided in Article 6(1) of Directive 2001/89/EC has been applied, sampling must concern the sub-units of the holding where pigs have been killed, without prejudice to the further examinations and sampling to be carried out on the remaining pigs in the holding, which shall be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the competent authority.

(1) However, if the derogation provided in Article 6(1) of Directive 2002/60/EC has been applied, sampling must concern the subunits of the holding where pigs have been killed, without prejudice to the further examinations and sampling to be carried out on the remaining pigs in the holding, which shall be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the competent authority.

Member States shall ensure that appropriate clinical examinations, sampling and laboratory investigations are carried out in suspected holdings to confirm or exclude ASF, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures laid down in points 2 to 6.
