CPIP is comprised of seven different components:
CPIP is being phased out by the CFIA. The following changes to CPIP are effective January 02, 2005:
Line speeds permitted for CPIP by species are as follows:
NOTE: Rotation schedule for CFIA inspectors working at on-line CPIP carcass (export) and/or viscera inspection stations - 20 min. on-line viscera inspection, then 20 min. off-line inspection duties, then 20 min. on-line carcass inspection, then 20 min. off-line inspection duties, etc., as assigned by the veterinarian-in-charge (reference, ergonomics report by Authier and Lagarde, 2002) . Operators may be exempted from upgrading the viscera inspection station and reducing the evisceration line speed to 120 cpm within their poultry slaughterhouse by applying in writing to the CFIA to switch to the MPIP. However, operators must comply with the facility requirements for on-line CFIA carcass (export) inspection stations, as contained in ch 2 and 11 of this manual, by January 02. 2005. Alternatively, the operator must supply CFIA with written notification that the establishment is to be removed from the list of establishments eligible to export to the USA. The aforementioned exemption will last for the entire period that an establishment is transiting from CPIP to MPIP provided that the Operator is facilitating (not hindering) the transition. Moreover, Operators of poultry abattoirs electing to continue to operate under the CPIP will be required to implement the above listed changes to CPIP and to comply with the new facility requirements for veterinary disposition and inspector sorting work stations as contained in ch. 2 of this manual by January 02, 2005. |
