1. The new International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) of the World Health Organization have
come into force since 15 June 2007. Ship owners and ship operators should take note of the
following:
(1)Ship hygiene documents under the IHR (2005)
Since 15 June 2007, the Ship Sanitation Control Exemption Certificate (SSCEC) and the
Ship Sanitation Control Certificate (SSCC) have replaced the Deratting Exemption
Certificate (DEC) and the Deratting Certificate (DC) respectively as the ship hygiene
documents under IHR (2005).
The Port Health Office of the Department of Health (DH) is responsible for issuing the
SSCEC/SSCC and carrying out necessary ship inspections as appropriate. Application
form for SSCEC/SSCC is available at the DH’s webpage:

recognised by the HKSAR. The list of designated ports can be found at the DH’s webpage
mentioned above. Free pratique will not be granted to vessels without valid ship hygiene
documents issued by a designated port.
(3)Application for free pratique
The new form for free pratique can be downloaded from the DH’s webpage mentioned
