Certification of competence for the killing of vertebrates
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you regularly look after, immobilify, stun, slaughter or kill animals professionally or commercially, you must have the necessary knowledge and skills (expertise). You can apply for the required certificate of competence from the competent authority. To do this, you must prove your competence in the context of a successful examination or a qualification recognised as equivalent. The certificate of competence lists for which activities, for which animal species and for which type of equipment this applies.
The certificate of competence is valid indefinitely. However, it can be withdrawn if you have violated the requirements of the regulation and facts indicate that this will continue to be the case in the future.
The application shall be made in writing, either by means of a form provided by the Authority or by an informal application.
• Then fill out the form completely or formulate your application for the certificate of competence and add the necessary evidence.
• Submit the application documents to your competent authority.
• The competent authority will examine your application and draw up a certificate of competence for the animal categories as well as stunning and killing procedures for which you have been able to prove your expertise.
• Finally, you will receive your certificate of competence by post or, if necessary, information about the rejection of your application.
