World Health Organization:
Implementation of ship sanitation control exemption certificate/ship sanitation control certificate
Implementation of ship sanitation control exemption certificate/ship sanitation control certificate
As of 15 June 2007 if evidence of a public health risk is found on board a ship and the ship is not able to produce a valid DC/DEC or SSCEC/SSCC, the competent authority may proceed to inspect the ship with one of three possible outcomes.
No evidence of a public health risk is found on board. The competent authority may issue a SSCEC.
Evidence of a public health risk is found on board. The competent authority satisfactorily completes or supervises the completion of the necessary control measures and is required to issue a SSCC. If, in the opinion of the competent authority, the conditions under which control measures are carried out at the port are such that a satisfactory result cannot be obtained, this should be noted on the existing SSCC. The SSCC is valid for a maximum period of 6 months. The control measures must be completed before a further SSCC is issued.
The competent authority extends the SSCEC for a period of one month until the ship arrives at a port at which the Ship Sanitation Control Certificate may be received.
States Parties shall send to WHO a list of ports authorized to offer:
the issuance of SSCC and the provisions referred to in Annexes 1 and 3;
the issuance of the SSCEC only and,
the extension of the SSCEC. State Parties shall inform WHO of any changes which may occur in the status of the listed ports.
States Parties may wish to consider publishing any interim transition arrangements for the Annex 3 certificates (on the web or elsewhere).
Under Article 41 any tariff (or amendment thereto) for applying health measures to baggage, cargo, containers, conveyances, goods or postal parcels (and for measures applied to travellers under Article 40) have to be published at least 10 days in advance of any levy.
In order to facilitate international marine traffic, WHO advises that the Sanitation Control Exemption Certificate/Ship Sanitation Control Certificate in Annex 3 of IHR (2005) be printed and completed in English and/or in French, and may also be completed in another language on the same document in addition to either English or French.
