Exemption from and alternative to identifying animal in a prescribed way
11 Exemption from and alternative to identifying animal in a prescribed way
Despite sections 9 and 10, an authority holder is not required to ensure an authorised animal is identified in a prescribed way if the holder obtains a signed certificate (an exemption certificate) from a veterinary surgeon stating that identifying the animal in the prescribed way would pose a serious risk to its health.
However, if the authority holder obtains an exemption certificate for an authorised animal, it is a condition of the authority that the holder must ensure the animal is identified in a way, other than a prescribed way mentioned in the certificate, that effectively identifies the animal as a particular animal.
