EU regulations require any air carrier transporting cargo or mail into the EU from a non-EU airport to ensure that all cargo and mail loaded is from a secure supply chain and is screened. Air carriers must also be designated as an ‘Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport’ (ACC3).

The regulations additionally require that ACC3s, as well as other business entities involved in their cargo supply chain, such as ground handling agents and screening companies  (Regulated Agents – RA3), undergo on-site or desk-top validations of their cargo operations at the relevant non-EU airports.  The validations, which are valid for 3 years (RA3s) or 5 years (ACC3s), must be undertaken by an Independent Aviation Security Validator, accredited by an EU regulator.

Leonardbeavan Ltd’s director, Tony Walker, is a fully qualified EU Aviation Security Independent Validator, accredited by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.
