a. all parts with which the animals come into contact shall be made of non-harmful materials and designed so as to minimise
the risk of injury.
b. it must be possible to keep all doors, windows and skylights securely fixed during transport.
c. non-slip flooring, partitions, grids, and supports shall be provided to prevent the animals from skidding or the transport
containers from shifting. Ramps must correspond to the stipulations of Article 53, paragraph 6.
d. tethering devices shall be strong enough to withstand normal strain during transport. They shall be long enough to enable
animals to stand up normally, lie down or feed and drink.
e. animals shall have adequate space. For farm animals, minimal loading space as described in Appendix 4 must be
available. Allowances shall be made for variations in needs, depending on the species concerned, climatic conditions and,
in particular, whether the animals are shorn or unshorn. If the loading spaces are too large or if the animals have more
than double the minimum loading space, according to Appendix 4, separation walls must be used.
f. care shall be taken that the animals have adequate supply of fresh air and are effectively protected against the ill-effects of
inclement weather and exhaust fumes from the vehicle.
g. on the vehicles used to transport professionally farm animals according to Appendix 4, the loading space in square meters
or per floor must be clearly marked on the outside of the vehicle. Moreover, a copy of Appendix 4 must be placed in the
vehicle.
h. vehicles used to transport animals professionally must clearly be marked "live animals" on the front and on the back.
2 Goods which impede the animals shall not be transported along with them.
3 In case of longer interruptions in transport, the animals may only be kept in the transport vehicles, if the minimum space
requirements for housing as described in the Appendixes are respected, if they have permanent access to water or, if
necessary, milk, and if the animals can be fed at species specific intervals. Furthermore, the conditions as to climate
appropriate for the species must be satisfactory.
