physical screening which shall be of a standard sufficient to reasonably ensure that no prohibited articles are concealed in the consignment;

(b)

other security controls, part of a supply chain security process, that reasonably ensure that no prohibited articles are concealed in the consignment and which have been applied by another RA3, KC3 or AC3 designated by the RA3.
