6.3.3 Batch. A batch is defined as the quantity of material that has been manufactured by a
chemical process or subjected to some physical mixing operation. And intended to make the final
product substantially uniform, and manufactured in a single plant run (not to exceed 24 hours),
through the same processing equipment, with no change in the ingredient materials.
6.4 Historical information. In lieu of providing test results from section 4.5.3, historical
information may be provided, derived from a minimum of three batches of oil which were
manufactured within the last twelve months. This information ensures the ability of the plant to
meet the carcinogenicity requirements of section 4.5.3.
6.5 Carcinogenicity test references. The tests in section 4.5.3 are advised for use in the
following journal articles.
