1. (1) Batch pasteurizers:

   1. (i) Date.
   2. (ii) Number or location of recorder when more than one is used.
   3. (iii) Extent of holding period, including filling and emptying times when required, section 2.45 of this Part (Item 16p[A]).
   4. (iv) Reading of airspace thermometer within the holding period at a given time or reference point as indicated on the chart, section 2.45 of this Part (Item 16p[A]).
   5. (v) Reading of indicating thermometer within the holding period at a given time or reference point as indicated on the chart, section 2.45 of this Part (Item 16p[A]).
   6. (vi) Quarterly, the initials of the regulatory agency opposite the required readings of the indicating thermometer and airspace thermometer, section 2.45 of this Part (Item 16p[A]).
   7. (vii) Quarterly, the time accuracy of the record, as determined by the regulatory agency (Appendix 4, infra, Test 3).
   8. (viii) Amount and name of pasteurized milk or milk product represented by each batch or run on the chart.
   9. (ix) Record of unusual occurrences.
   10. (x) Signature or initials of operator.
   11. (xi) Name of milk plant.

2. (2) High-temperature-short-time pasteurizers. Recording thermometer charts shall contain all the information specified in paragraph (1) of this subdivision, except subparagraphs (iii) and (iv) and reference to airspace thermometers in subparagraph (vi), and, in addition, shall include the following: Note:

   1. (i) A record of the time during which the flow-diversion device is in the forward-flow position.

   2. (ii) The cut-in and cut-out milk temperatures recorded daily by the operator at the beginning of the run, and initialed quarterly by the regulatory agency, section 2.46 of this Part (Item 16p[B]).

      Note:

      The recorded temperature shown on the controller chart shall be used to determine that the required temperature for milk products containing higher fat and/or sweeteners has been achieved.

3. (3) Equipment tests and examinations. The regulatory agency shall perform the indicated tests on the following instruments and devices initially on installation, and at least once each three months thereafter, and whenever any alteration or replacement is made which may affect the proper operation of the instrument or device, provided that the holding time test shall be conducted at least every six months. (See table in subdivision [b] of this section.)

4. (4) Removal of regulatory seals and resumption of pasteurization. No equipment required to be sealed pursuant to section 2.46 of this Part shall be used if the regulatory seal has been broken unless the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (iii) of this paragraph are met:

   1. (i) the commissioner is notified promptly;
   2. (ii) the provisions of section 2.46 of this Part are otherwise continuously met and compliance therewith is documented in a form satisfactory to the commissioner; and

   3. (iii) a sample of the milk, milk product, melloream or frozen dessert processed or manufactured in such equipment is properly taken immediately after the resumption of pasteurization and every two hours thereafter and properly analyzed in an officially designated laboratory for the presence of phosphatase and is found to not exceed the phosphatase standard set forth in section 2.8 of this Part. No milk, milk products, melloream or frozen dessert processed or manufactured in equipment from which a seal has been broken shall be removed from the milk plant until the processing plant superintendent determines that all of the provisions set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (iii) of this paragraph have been met.
