0. Introduction
This specification provides the definition of the Sanitary/Phytosanitary Certificate message (SANCRT) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. Scope
A Sanitary/Phytosanitary Certificate permits an inspection authority to attest to the status (health, hygiene, freedom from disease or insect pests) of animal, plant or fish product, and provides basic details about the means of conveyance of that product.
1.1. Functional Definition
A Sanitary/Phytosanitary Certificate permits an inspection authority to attest to the status (health, hygiene, freedom from disease or insect pests) of animal, plant or fish product, and provides basic details about the means of conveyance of that product.
1.2. Field of Application
This message may be used nationally and internationally by government authorities and commercial entities involved in the process of animal, plant and fish product certification. Typically, the message would be used by one national authority to advise another that product meets exporting country standards and regulations. The message is intended to provide for all internationally agreed information requirements of government authorities with respect to health, phytosanitary and veterinary certification, including those specified by the Office International Des Epizooties International Zoo-Sanitary Code for trade in animals and animal products and by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) for trade in plants and plant material.
1.3. Principles
- a single certificate is for product exported by a single
country to a single destination country.
- a certificate may cover several product items. A
certificate should however be limited to product items of the same type or category.
- all product covered by a certificate is transported
together on the same transport vehicle or vehicle set at the same time. Transport can however occur over more than one stage.
- product may be in zero, one or more containers.
- inclusion of standard endorsements or generic textual
declarations in the certificate is discouraged. It is recommended that these and other certification protocol requirements be accounted for outside the certificate in individual trading partner agreements.
