You could also call this:

"Rules to Keep Animal Products Safe"

A regulated control scheme is a set of rules that helps keep animal products safe. You need to know what the scheme is trying to achieve, which is called its prime purpose. The scheme also sets out risk management measures to help keep animal products safe.

The risk management measures can include things like monitoring and testing animal material, animal products, and the environment. This is to make sure animal products are safe for their intended use.

A regulated control scheme can also include requirements about tracing and recalling animal products, verifying the scheme, and keeping records. These requirements can be prescribed by regulations made under section 77C, section 77F, or section 77H.

Some rules about notices, like the ones mentioned in section 38(2)(b), are treated like regulations, as stated in section 166A(1)(a)(i), (d), and (e).
