Cleaning after a transport of a product listed in this IDTF No is not mandatory when all of following requirements are met:

1. The next load belongs to this IDTF No, or

2. The next load belongs to following IDTF No:

* FCA certified companies should inform their Certification Scheme OVOCOM in case of application of exemption from the cleaning regime.

3. The bulk tanker is properly drained;
4. This exemption from cleaning must be approved in writing by the company that receives the product. The instructing party must confirm to the transport operator that the exemption can be applied;
5. This exemption from cleaning must not lead to an increase in chemical, microbiological and/or physical risks for transported feed and must be included in the risk-assessment of transport company and documented;
6. The time between the 2 following loads must be taken into account in the risk assessment.

The IDTF defines cleaning levels applicable after each transport of goods, in order to ensure the safety of products intended for animal feed for subsequent transport. The risk of contamination and therefore the cleaning levels are defined taking into account the nature of products and the risks of residues in the next load. In case of bulk liquid transport, it is acknowledged that bulk tankers are designed such that these flow empty by gravity / pump discharge, so, after discharge, in practice only very minimal residues of a previous load will remain. Between goods with homogeneous characteristics and having similar uses, the risks of contamination between materials are very limited. This has led us to identify opportunities for exemptions of cleaning, applicable for "homogeneous" goods of the same group (listed in a specific IDTF n°), under certain conditions defined in "important requirements" for each group. The carrier remains responsible for the cleanliness of the compartment.
