Regulation 11 Endorsement of commercial documents

Where reference is made to a commercial document being endorsed in accordance with this regulation, the document must have attached to it an official certificate prepared by the Minister (or in Northern Ireland the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development) stating that the production process has been audited and found to be in accordance with these Regulations and suitable to destroy the foot-and-mouth disease virus and that provisions are in place to avoid possible re-contamination with the foot-and-mouth disease virus after treatment.

The certificate shall bear a reference to the Decision, shall be valid for 30 days, shall state the expiry date and shall be renewable after inspection of the establishment.
