Classification of colour master batches: percentage alone should not determine status; intended use must guide classification. The Ministry, in consultation with the Chief Chemist, advises that prescribing a single minimum percentage of colourant is inadvisable as the sole criterion to identify a product as a master batch. When the colourant proportion substantially exceeds the indicative level it will ordinarily be a master batch, but when it is slightly below that level the manner of use must be taken as the confirmatory factor to decide whether the product is a colour concentrate.
