🇬🇧 English

This regulation renews the EU-wide authorisation of thiamine hydrochloride (3a820) and thiamine mononitrate (3a821) as nutritional feed additives (vitamin B1) for all animal species for another ten years until 19 March 2036. The substances remain safe for animals, consumers, and the environment under existing conditions. Both additives are confirmed as skin and eye irritants and skin/respiratory sensitisers, requiring protective measures. One application for a thiamine mononitrate preparation was withdrawn. The previous authorisation regulation (EU) 2015/897 is repealed. Detailed analytical methods using HPLC-UV and HPLC-FLD are specified for quality control in additives, premixtures, compound feed, and drinking water.
