Health Certificate is a special product certificate confirming certain characteristics of food and its compliance with safety requirements established by international standards.

The Health Certificate is issued by entrepreneurs who are engaged in the export of food products. Such certificate is required by the legislation of many countries of the world. Without this certificate it is impossible to export products to Europe, Asia, the USA, Canada and many other countries.

The Health Certificate is an official document of international standard. The certificate confirms that the exported products of animal and plant origin comply with the requirements regulating the field of food. The customs control authorities check batches of imported products when crossing the state border to confirm the certificates datas.

CISS GROUP provides services for the preparation and publication of Health Certificate to agro-industrial enterprises and international trading companies around the world.

In order to obtain a Health Certificate, CISS GROUP carries out laboratory tests exclusively in FOSFA, GAFTA, ISO accredited laboratories in order to verify the safety of products and compliance with the necessary requirements. According to the results of the testing, - usually after about 5-7 working days from the moment the samples enter the laboratory - a test report is drawn up, which is the basis for issuing the Health Certificate.

Health Certificate contains the following information:

• the name of the product tested, its quantity and weight;
• information data about the exporting country (name, location of the supplier);
• information about the manufacturer (country, location, company name);
• information about the recipient country of the products;
• terms and delivery terms;
• storage/ transportation conditions;
• batch number;
• date of manufacture;
• standards or technical conditions according to which the goods are manufactured;
• information about the tests carried out, etc.

A new requirement of the Health Certificate is to include information in the document that the product is safe as "food for people" or "food for animals". Also, the Health Certificate may contain information about the absence of genetically modified organisms. Such information must be documented. To do this, additional tests are carried out, as a result of which the manufacturer receives a conclusion about the absence of GMOs.

Draft Health Certificate for products suitable for human consumption

Draft Health Certificate for products suitable for animal consumption

Health Certificate is issued for each batch of goods separately. It contains information that the products are suitable for human or animal consumption. Such confirmation is issued only if the product complies with international food standards (Codex Alimentarius), Therefore the importers can be sure that the food products ordered by them will meet their specifications. The authenticity of the documents can be verified by the client using a unique QR code, which is the "key" to the CISS GROUP website, where pdf versions of certificates are stored. Our certificates are protected by a digital cryptographic signature, which also guarantees their authenticity and security.

Digitally signed certificates are often required by banks to verify the certificate when financing trade operations in the form of a letter of credit.
