What is E-CERT for Plant Protection
![Page 3: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definition of Electronic Phytosanitary Certification
Electronic phytosanitary certification is the authenticated and secure electronic transmission of phytosanitary certification data, including the certifying statement, from the National Plant protection Organization (NPPO) of the exporting country to the NPPO of the importing country.

Principal objective
Standardizing the electronic exchange of phytosanitary certificates
E-cert
Movement and format of the certificate data

Two components to Electronic Certification
E-cert
1. A standard Message
2. An Exchange Mechanism
![Page 7: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Towards developing a Standard Message
E-cert
-Universally accepted message format (XML)
- Common understanding of the organisation of the information (XML Schema)
- Common dictionary (data elements)
![Page 8: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EXtensible Markup Language
E-cert
XML –A standard format for organizing and describing data. In XML, information is organized into ‘Elements’, similar to the boxes on a Certificate.
Extract from Jason Dittrich presentation done at the Ottawa EPCW May 2009.

What is an XML Schema
E-cert
An XML Schema provides means for describing a particular type of document (ex. Phytosanitary Certificate). It can define:
1. The data elements that are allowed in the document and the order in which they appear
2. The type of information each element can contain
3. Which individual elements are requiredExtract from Jason Dittrich presentation done at the Ottawa EPCW May 2009.

UN/CEFACT - Roles
![Page 16: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mid 1990s• Exporting countries were looking for a more secure and
efficient means to exchange export certification• Australia had developed an ‘edi’ or code based system
to exchange information system to system (1998 Japan)• New Zealand was in the process of developing a web
based system
2002-2003• Food Safety Quadrilaterals for meat recognised the need
to collaborate to develop a system (CA/US/NZ/AU)• AU and NZ collaborated to harmonise data requirements
and technical design
UN/CEFACT eCert SPS Project - Background
![Page 17: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It is an authorised document which provides statements about the compliance of an animal/plant based agricultural commodity to the requirements of the Export Regulator and/or Import Regulator.
The schema has been published in 2009 and can be found at: http://www.unece.org/uncefact/data/standard/SPSCertificate_3p0.xsd
The UN/CEFACT Sanitary/Phytosanitary (SPS) Certificate
![Page 18: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This standard adopts an XML Schema-based solution and uses data elements from the published UN/CEFACT core component library
UN/CEFACT (SPS) Certificate Schema
![Page 19: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UN/CEFACT Core components
![Page 20: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. Universal Schema was designed to allow for use with more than one type of certificate, e.g. phytosanitary certificates, live animal certificates, meat certificates, etc.
2. Because of this design, few restrictions are imposed by the schema itself and any ISPM12-specific requirements for phytosanitary certificates must defined separately.
Characteristics of the UN/CEFACT (SPS) Certificate
Schema
![Page 21: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. Due to its universal design, the SPS Schema is complex and data elements are named generically. Every data item in ISPM12 must be identified and mapped to the correct element within the SPS Certificate Schema.
2. Few ISPM12 restrictions are imposed in the SPS Schema itself. How might these be implemented?
Current Challenges
![Page 22: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
An “XML Datamap” and a UN/CEFACT implementation guide have been prepared.

Because ISPM12-specific requirements are not imposed in the SPS Schema itself, these must
be defined and implemented separately.
How might this be accomplished?
Challenge 2: ISPM12 Requirements and the
SPS Schema
![Page 25: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Option 1: Each NPPO builds custom message validation into their internal systems
• International community creates a narrative (text) document describing the message requirements
• Pros: Does not rely on a specific technology• Cons: Each participant must build their own
validation system and may interpret the requirements differently
Challenge 2: ISPM12 Requirements and the
SPS Schema
![Page 26: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Option 2: Utilize a centralized system for validating requirements
• International Community creates a validation system all E-Cert messages must pass through
• Pros: Single system ensures all participants are using the same set of requirements
• Cons: Costly to build and maintain. Single point of failure.
Challenge 2: ISPM12 Requirements and the
SPS Schema
![Page 27: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Option 3: Use an additional technical document as an addendum to SPS Schema
• International Community drafts a technical (computer readable) addendum to the SPS Schema applying ISPM-12 message requirements
• Pros: Technical document limits differences in interpretation of the standard
• Cons: E-Cert standard would need to contain an additional specification in addition to SPS Schema
Challenge 2: ISPM12 Requirements and the
SPS Schema
![Page 28: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
To implement electronic certificates, the international community must decide:
• How to best represent phytosanitary certificates electronically?
• How does the community want to use the information sent?
• How should ISPM-12 requirements be defined electronically?

2. An Exchange Mechanism
1.NPPO-to-NPPO authenticated assurance (of who sent and what info is sent)
2.Universally accepted secure procedure for exchanging certificate data (e.g. notifies, push/pull, acknowledge, etc.)
3.Universally accepted implementation of procedure for exchange (e.g. Web services contract)
Recommendation is to use international standard Web Services technology

• The electronic transfer should contain all elements that the paper certificate contains, in accordance with ISPM 12.
• The authenticity of the message certification data should be assured by electronic means. In this way it should be clear that the electronic certification data are provided and supported by the NPPO of the exporting country.
• The assurance/guarantee should/will be assured by electronic means. For this reason, the electronic transfer should be in a protected way such that the data cannot be changed or read by any party during transfer.
• To facilitate communication, this transfer can best be done in a standardized format. For this purpose, the XML format, following an XML schema, is strongly recommended.
E-Cert RequirementsSummary
![Page 35: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Electronic Certification
The following nine points summarize the key agreements and recommendations resultingfrom the plenary session on day three of the workshop.
1. Agreement on definition of Electronic Phytosanitary Certification; 2. All elements for electronic phytosanitary certification exchange mechanism
will be derived from ISPM-12; 3. Universally accepted standards for secure certificate exchange, message
format, and implementation of procedures for exchange will be used; 4. UN/CEFACT Schema (data elements, core components) must be reviewed to
ensure consistency with ISPM-12 requirements and a user guide developed to include an 'ISPM-12 Overlay for the UN/CEFACT Schema' (an ISPM-12 specific schema imposing business restrictions on the UN/CEFACT Schema);
Agreed Principles and Recommendations for International Electronic Phytosanitary
Certification Data Exchange
![Page 36: North American Plant Protection Organization Ian McDonell NAPPO Executive Director 21 st. Technical Consultation among Regional Plant Protection Organizations.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/551b2755550346dd1a8b48b3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Agreed Principles and Recommendations for International Electronic Phytosanitary Certification Data Exchange
(continued)
5. During transition periods in implementation, current hard-copy practices would still apply;
6. Rely on IT experts to provide advice on methods for flexible and secure electronic transfer;
7. Initiate a multilateral standardization approach rather than a bilateral approach with respect to country-to-country negotiations for exchange;
8. Engage developing countries through regional cooperation and pilot projects and use IPPC for outreach activities; and
9. Develop simple-to-understand communication pieces such as
Background paper and “myth-busting” Questions and Answers.
