The notified measure establishes health requirements for the importation into Chile of collagen, gelatine, hydrolyzed protein and greaves.

The measure lays down the requirement that the products' country of origin must be recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as having a negligible risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and maintain a surveillance programme for the disease in accordance with the recommendations of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code.

Under the measure, the raw material from which the products derive must originate from the products' country of manufacture or have been imported from countries that are recognized by the OIE as having a negligible risk of BSE and that maintain a surveillance programme for the disease.

Furthermore, the raw material from which the products originate must come from animals that have been slaughtered in abattoirs approved by the competent authority. The animals must have undergone ante- and post-mortem inspections and be considered suitable for human consumption.
