Technical & Biosafety Rigor
Structural assessment of verification intensity. Measures the 'Inspection Depth' required to prove material safety, focusing on the permanence of testing protocols and quarantine logic.
Scoring Scale (0-5)
-
0Non-Regulated
Item is considered 'inert' or 'standardized'; requires no specialized safety or health validation (e.g., hardware, non-technical textiles).
-
1Documentary Validation
Compliance is proven via paperwork/certificates; physical inspection is rare or random.
-
2Visual/Physical Audit
Mandatory visual inspection at the border or site to confirm label-to-content matching.
-
3Technical Verification (TBT)
Requires laboratory testing or performance validation of non-biological specs (e.g., electrical safety, chemical runoff testing).
-
4Biosafety/Sanitary Screening (SPS)
Requires mandatory biological sampling, residue testing, or thermal treatment to mitigate pests/pathogens (e.g., processed food, treated timber).
-
5High-Hazard / Quarantine
Requires mandatory holding periods (quarantine) or destructive testing; 'Zero Tolerance' for any deviation due to existential bio-risk (e.g., live animals, high-risk genetic material, specialized medical isotopes).
