Security Controls applied by an ACC3 (1)

As part of the implementation of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/815, the following security controls have been added in Chapter 6.8.3 of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998:

Number 6.8.3.4: When tendering consignments to which it has applied the required security controls to another ACC3 or RA3, the ACC3, RA3, or KC3 shall indicate in the accompanying documentation the unique alphanumeric identifier received from the designating appropriate authority.

Number 6.8.3.5: When accepting any consignments, an ACC3 or RA3 shall establish whether the air carrier or the entity from which it receives the consignments is another ACC3, RA3, or KC3 by the following means of:

  • verifying whether or not the unique alphanumeric identifier of the entity delivering the consignments is indicated on the accompanying documentation; and
  • confirming that the air carrier or entity delivering the consignment is listed as active in the Union database on supply chain security for the specified airport or site, as appropriate.

If there is no indication on the accompanying documentation of the identifier, or if the air carrier or entity delivering the consignments is not listed as active in the Union database on supply chain security, it shall be deemed that no security controls have previously been applied, and the consignments shall be screened by the ACC3 or by another EU aviation security validated RA3 before being loaded onto the aircraft.

These additional requirements are to be implemented immediately.
