(2)in section B, the following paragraph is added:‘3.The quality assurance system implemented by the recycler shall include specific operations in the recycling process, “Quality Assessment Stages”, at which the recycler shall assess the quality of each batch of material directly originating from a manufacturing stage.This assessment shall check the quality of that material by verifying:

—whether the applicable critical limits referred to in point 2, point (c) have been met at each unit operation that is part of the manufacturing stage, and

—whether the quality of the resulting material meets pre-defined criteria, using the tests, protocols and evidence referred to in point 2, point (e) applicable to the manufacturing stage.

The assessment shall result in a decision on whether the quality of the batch is considered as complying with Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 and suitable for further processing, whether its quality requires correction before further processing or, whether the batch is to be discarded or used for non-food applications.’;
