Technical regulation "Requirements to Safety of the Food Products Received from Gene-modified (Transgene) Plants and Animals"

1. Scope

1. This technical regulation "Requirements to Safety of the Food Products Received from Gene-modified (Transgene) Plants and Animals" (further - the Technical regulation) is developed according to the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan of September 18, 2009 "About health of the people and health care system", the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan of November 9, 2004 "About technical regulation", of July 21, 2007 "About safety of food products" and establishes minimum necessary requirements to safety of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals in case of its development, production, turnover, utilization and destruction.

2. This Technical regulation extends to the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals, entering commodity groups 02, of 03, of 09, of 13, 18 and 21, goods items 0401-0406, 0407 00, 040 819 810 0, 0408 19 890 0, 0408 99 800 0, 0409 00 000 0, 0410 00 000 0, 0712-0714, 0801-0806, 0811-0813, 0814 00 000 0, of 0901, of 0902, 0903 00 000 0, of 0904, 0905 00 000 0, of 0906, 0907 00 000 0, 0908-0910, 1101 00, of 1102, of 1103, 1105-1108, 1208, of 1210, of 1212, 1501 00, 1501 00-1503 00, of 1504, 1506 00 000 0, 1507-1517, 1601 00, of 1602, 1603 of 00, of 1604, of 1605, of 1701, of 1702, of 1704, 1801 00 000 0, of 1803, 1804 00 000 0, 1805 00 000 0, of 1806, of 1901, 1902-1905, 2001-2003, 2005-2009, 2101-2104, 2105 of 00, 2106 Single commodity nomenclatures of foreign economic activity of custom union (ETN foreign trade activities CU).

3. Objects of technical regulation are the food products:

1) containing or received fully or partially from one or several gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals;

2) containing the ingredients made from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals in the structure.

4. For the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals four potentially dangerous (problem) factors are established:

1) the implemented genes (gene products);

2) interaction between "others" and "native" genes;

3) distribution of "new" genes;

4) inadvertent ("unknown") effects inherent in gene-modified technologies.

5. Taking into account the carried-out risk assessment the package of measures for liquidation of risk or its reduction to admissible level in case of development, production and turnover of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals is determined.

6. In case of determination of admissible risks are considered:

results of risks assessment;

scope of the live changed organisms.

7. The risks assessment of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals is performed as complex risks assessment during the laboratory research and includes the following:

1) risk assessment of key components, determination of metabolites, results of the production technology of foodstuff, food change;

2) assessment of physical and chemical properties of the proteins which are part of the live changed organisms (rn, solubility, rheological properties of water dispersions, water and zhirouderzhivayushchy retention capacity, critical concentration of jellification, emulsion stability);

3) assessment of physical and chemical properties of the live changed organisms, their nutrition and biological value, and also hygienic indicators of safety of food products;

4) assessment of medicobiological impact of the live changed organisms on macroorganism. Determination of medicobiological impact of the live changed organisms is performed based on results of the experiments made on animals who provide assessment of toxicity, embritoksichesky, gonadotropny, teratogenny, mutagen effects, immunomodulatory, allergenic properties, influences on microbiocenosis of various biotopes of macroorganism, carrying out hematologic and biochemical researches.

8. For the live changed organisms intended for the food purposes assessment of safety of possible toxicity and other features connected with patogenetiky the expressed substances, immunological effects, viability and availability of microorganisms in digestive tract of the person, antibiotikorezistentnost and replacing gene of the live changed organisms is carried out.

9. The risk assessment of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals to health of the person and the environment in the Republic of Kazakhstan shall be performed in the laboratories accredited or certified according to the procedure, established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of technical regulation.

10. Identification of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals is carried out by methods:

1) visual survey;

2) estimates of the characteristic signs included in terminology and information provided on consumer (group, transport) packaging;

3) estimates of the provided information on the indicators provided in regulating, technical, other accompanying documentation or agreements delivery contracts of specific types of food products.

11. Identification of the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals is carried out according to the scheme, according to appendix to this Technical regulation.

12. In case of insufficiency of information obtained by any of the methods specified in Item 10 of this Technical regulation carry out laboratory (method of polymerase chain reaction) assessment and testing on physical and chemical properties of proteins.

13. For the purpose of ensuring identification accompanying documents on the food products received from gene-modified (transgene) plants and animals shall contain the following information:

1) name and address of the producer;
