Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Offshore Treatment Providers Scheme
AQIS accredits facilities as approved Offshore Treatment Providers for Ethylene Oxide Treatment. The approved facilities have demonstrated their capacity to conduct ethylene oxide treatments effectively. The evaluation process to become an approved Offshore Treatment Provider includes:
- an assessment of the applicants capacity to operate in accordance with relevant AQIS requirements, based on supporting documentary evidence and
- an assessment of the physical structures and operational procedures used by the applicant with a view to determining their effectiveness in addressing quarantine risks.
Consignments treated by AQIS approved offshore ETO providers are subject to compliance with ICON and import permit requirements. All ETO treatment providers listed as acceptable are audited and monitored as set out in the AQIS Ethylene Oxide Offshore Treatment Providers Scheme.
This scheme operates within the relevant AQIS container inspection procedures and consignments may also be subject to random AQIS document and/or non–commodity verification inspections.
