At the request of any person exporting a veterinary medicinal product to a third country, or the competent authorities of a third country to which a veterinary medicinal product is to be exported, the Secretary of State shall provide a certificate that the veterinary medicinal product was manufactured in accordance with the marketing authorisation, if there is one, and, if there is no marketing authorisation, that the manufacturer holds a manufacturing authorisation for that type of product.

When he issues the certificate the Secretary of State shall take account of the model certificates issued by the World Health Organization7.

If the veterinary medicinal product is authorised in the United Kingdom the Secretary of State shall ensure that the exporter or the competent authorities of the third country has access to the summary of product characteristics.
