Cross Compliance inspection control report forms

Date published: 6 February, 2019

For recent changes to this guidance, please see the bottom of the page.

Cross Compliance inspections are made up of seven inspection tasks and each of these are covered by a separate control report form (CRF).

During a Cross Compliance inspection, the RPID inspector will record the results onto the relevant CRFs. The RPID inspector must complete two mandatory CRFs, which include the ‘GAEC and Core SMR CRF’ and the ‘Food and Feed law CRF’. The remaining five CRFs will only be completed by the inspector if these areas are applicable to the business selected for a cross compliance inspection.

In addition, a SSAFO inspection is also completed at the time of a cross compliance inspection. This is carried out on behalf of SEPA and the RPID inspector will record the results onto the SSAFO CRF.

The table below provides you with the CRFs that RPID inspectors use when carrying out Cross Compliance inspections.
