　　Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the application for renewal of authorisation of the feed additive co nsisting of ammo nium chloride (tradename: Ammo nium chloride AF) as a zootechnical additive for ruminants, cats and dogs. In 2012, the FEEDAP Panel delivered an opinion on the safety and efficacy of the additive and subsequently the additive was authorised in the EU. The additive is authorised as ‘ammo nium chloride with a co ntent of ammo nium chloride ≥ 99% and sodium chloride ≤ 0.5% in the active substance’ for ruminants, cats and dogs under the category ‘zootechnical additives’ and functio nal group ‘other zootechnical additives’. The evidence provided by the applicant indicates that the additive currently in the market complies with the co nditions of authorisation. No new evidence was found that would make the FEEDAP Panel reco nsider its previous co nclusions on the safety for target species, co nsumers and environment. The FEEDAP Panel co ncludes that ammo nium chloride is co nsidered an eye and skin irritant and a potential respiratory sensitiser, but is not a dermal sensitiser. The present application for renewal of the authorisation does not include a proposal for amending or supplementing the co nditions of the original authorisation that would have an impact on the efficacy of the additive.
