Does the entity designate consignors as AC3?YES or NO |If YES, describe the procedure and the safeguards required by the entity from the consignor. |4.5. When accepting a consignment, does the entity establish whether its destination is an EU or EEA airport?YES or NO — explain |4.6.

If previously secured air cargo and mail is not protected afterwards, it may not be loaded or transferred to an ACC3 or another RA3 as secure cargo or mail.Protection can be provided by different means such as physical (for example barriers, locked rooms), human (for example patrols, trained staff) and technological (for example CCTV, intrusion alarm).EU or EEA bound secured air cargo or mail should be separated from air cargo or mail which is not secured.Reference: point 6.8.3.1 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998.7.1.Is protection of secured air cargo and air mail applied on behalf of the validated entity by another entity?YES or NOIf YES,Specify the nature of these entities and provide details:7.2.Are security controls and protection in place to prevent tampering during the screening process?YES or NOIf YES, describeSpecify what kind(s) of protection(s) are put in place:Explain how they are organised.7.3.Is the secure air cargo/air mail only accessible to authorised persons?YES or NOIf YES, describeSpecify how all access points (including doors and windows) to identifiable and secured air cargo or air mail are controlled.7.4.Are there procedures in place to ensure EU or EEA bound air cargo or air mail to which security controls have been applied are protected from unauthorised interference from the time it has been secured until its loading or is transferred to an ACC3 or another RA3?YES or NOIf YES, describe how it is protected (for example by physical, human, technological means)Specify also if the building is of solid construction and what kinds of materials are used, if available.If NO, specify reasons7.5.Conclusion: Is the protection of consignments sufficiently robust to prevent unlawful interference?YES or NOIf NO, specify reasonComments from the entityComments from EU aviation security validatorPART 8DocumentationObjective: The RA3 shall ensure that the documentation accompanying a consignment to which the RA3 has applied security controls (such as screening, protection), contains at least:If the security status is issued by the RA3, the entity shall additionally indicate the reasons for issuing it, such as the means or method of screening used or the grounds for exempting the consignment from screening, using the standards adopted in the Consignment Security Declaration scheme.The documentation accompanying the consignment may either be in the form of an air waybill, equivalent postal documentation or in a separate declaration, and either in an electronic format or in writing.Reference: point (d) of point 6.3.2.6, points 6.8.3.4, 6.8.3.5 and 6.8.3.6 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/19988.1.

This includes protection during transportation to the aircraft, to the ACC3 or to another RA3. If previously secured air cargo and mail is not protected during transportation, it may not be loaded or transferred to an ACC3 or another RA3 as secure cargo.During transportation to an aircraft, an ACC3 or another RA3, the RA3 is responsible for the protection of the secure consignments. This includes cases where the transportation is undertaken by another entity, such as a freight forwarder, on its behalf. This does not include cases whereby the consignments are transported under the responsibility of an ACC3 or another RA3.Reference: point 6.8.3 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998.9.1.
