Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936.
This Order, which came into operation on the 1st January, 1937,
revoked the Milk (Special Designations) Orders of 1923 and 1934, and
prescribed the following special designations for milk:— (a) Tuberculin
Tested; (b) Accredited; and (c) Pasteurised. Milk designated under
this Order may be shortly described as follows:—

Tuberculin Test for freedom from Tuberculosis.
Tuberculin Tested Milk (Pasteurised) is Tuberculin Tested Milk
which has also been pasteurised.
Tuberculin Tested Milk (Certified) is Tuberculin Tested Milk which
is bottled on the Farm.
Accredited Milk comes from cows which have passed veterinary
examinations but have not been submitted to the Tuberculin Tests for
Tuberculosis.
Pasteurised Milk is milk which has been heated to a temperature
of 145-150 degrees F., and maintained at that temperature for 30
minutes.
