#### 9‑23 Inspections of animals for slaughter and applying ante‑mortem dispositions
An authorised officer:
(a) may carry out inspections of animals that are intended to be slaughtered at a registered establishment; and
(b) after inspecting an animal, must apply a disposition in accordance with any of clauses 8.8 to 8.19 of the Australian Meat Standard (ante‑mortem dispositions) to the animal.
> Note 1: See also section 8 (ante‑mortem inspection and disposition) of the Australian Meat Standard.
> Note 2: An authorised officer may apply a disposition under this section subject to conditions, and may vary a disposition applied under this section (see section 9‑26 of this instrument). For example, an authorised officer may vary a disposition if, after post‑mortem inspection, meat or meat products deteriorate or further information is obtained about residue levels.
