The aim of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) procedure of compartmentalisation is to contribute to safe trade in live animals and animal products. The fundamental requirement for its application is that the population considered for trade remains epidemiologically separate from populations of higher risk. Compartmentalisation makes use of a functional separation through management, taking into account all relevant epidemiological factors. In this paper, the authors begin by describing current (inter)national developments and actions in this field. Second, some sensitive issues are outlined where one internationally accepted view would help to implement compartmentalisation successfully in international trade. The OIE standards do not contain the procedure for assessing the biosecurity plan, which is crucial. The authors propose the use of a hazard analysis and critical control point system (HACCP) to determine the effectiveness of a biosecurity plan, taking account of all possible risks and potential disease entry points. This could be based on the model of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Other issues discussed are the outbreak of disease close to a compartment, the role of certification agencies and non-compliance with the biosecurity plan.
世界动物卫生组织(OIE)的分区程序旨在促进活体动物和动物产品的安全贸易。应用该程序的基本要求是,考虑用于贸易的动物群体在流行病学上与高风险群体相分离。分区通过管理实现功能分离,同时考虑所有相关的流行病学因素。在本文中,作者首先描述了该领域当前的(国际)发展情况和行动。其次,概述了一些敏感问题,在这些问题上,一种国际公认的观点将有助于在国际贸易中成功实施分区。OIE标准未包含评估生物安全计划的程序,而这一程序至关重要。作者提议使用危害分析与关键控制点系统(HACCP)来确定生物安全计划的有效性,同时考虑所有可能的风险和潜在的疾病传入点。这可以基于食品法典委员会的模式。讨论的其他问题包括分区附近的疾病爆发、认证机构的作用以及对生物安全计划的不遵守情况。
