Reporting requirement change 1st July 2021
From 1st July 2021 MPI will request the results of all container inspections completed by accredited persons. This means even if accredited persons don't find any contamination during the inspection, we still want to know. Accredited persons need to submit results to MPI electronically via the container check portal within 48 hours of completing the inspection.
We ask that accredited persons continue to call 0800 80 99 66 in the event that live organisms are found or if the MPI contamination charts indicate that MPI must be notified directly.
Transitional Facility Operators are responsible for ensuring that they have adequate internal systems and processes in place to monitor reporting requirements for APs. For more information about the functional changes to the Container Check Portal visit our website and check the previous industry newsletters and the updated user manual for details.
Improved Password/access controls Container Check Portal
7pm Monday 21st June (today)
In addition to the reporting changes we are implementing new password requirements for all users of the container check portal. This is to ensure that the information and data submitted to MPI is secure and password requirements are in line with modern standards. All accredited persons will be required to reset their passwords to meet the new complexity requirements once they have logged in for the first time after 7 pm Monday 21st JUNE. Once logged in with the existing password, accredited persons will be prompted to change the password. The new password requirements are outlined below:
- Changing your password - As a minimum, passwords to be changed every 12 months, ideally every 90 days
- Strong Passwords – Passwords must be a minimum set of 12 characters and contain characters from at least three (3) of the following sets:
- Lowercase characters (a-z)
- Uppercase characters (A-Z)
- Digits (0-9)
- Punctuation and special characters (for example, !@#$%^&*)
More information about the password requirements will be available on the home page of the container check portal.
Please share this information with any of your people involved in the container devanning process to ensure they are prepared for the coming changes.
