Biosecurity Training

At IVS, we are committed to seeing New Zealand businesses succeed through the right biosecurity educational training, endorsed by our position as New Zealand’s leading transitional facility training provider.

 

New Zealand importers must operate a MAF-approved Transitional Facility to receive, inspect and unpack imported sea containers under the General Transitional Facilities (TFGEN) Standard. All Transitional Facilities must have trained and certified personnel who manage or undertake the different aspects of biosecurity.

Training requirements for an Approved Transitional Facility (ATF)

1. Transitional Facility Operator (TFO)
   A TFO maintains overall legal responsibility for all biosecurity aspects of a facility, and requires retraining every four years.
    
2. Accredited Person (AP)
   AP's inspect imported sea containers and their contents for biosecurity risks, and require retraining every two years.

Personnel who wish to become a TFO, Deputy TFO or AP must be trained by a MAF approved training provider such us IVS.
