What WOAH Terrestrial Animal Health Code requires
The WOAH Terrestrial Animal Health Code (the Code) is the global reference standard for the prevention, detection, and control of animal diseases affecting terrestrial mammals, birds, and bees, and for the safe international trade of live terrestrial animals and animal products. It is recognised by the WTO SPS Agreement as the international benchmark for animal health measures. The Code is organised into volumes containing horizontal standards (Chapter 1.1-1.6 general provisions; the relevant chapter risk analysis; the relevant chapter quality of veterinary services and aquatic animal health), animal welfare standards (Chapter 7), disease-specific chapters (Chapters 8-15 covering 100+ listed diseases including foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, highly pathogenic avian influenza, bluetongue, rabies, BSE, and antimicrobial resistance), and trade-related model certificates. WOAH Members must report disease occurrences via the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS), and importing countries that impose stricter measures than the Code must justify them via risk assessment under WTO SPS the relevant article.
