A Deratization Exemption Certificate is valid for a period of _______________.

A 1 year
B no time limit so long as no evidence of rodents aboard
C 6 months
D no time limit so long as Certificate of Sanitation is valid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 6 months. A Deratization Exemption Certificate is issued to a vessel that has been inspected and found to be free of rodents. This certificate is valid for a period of 6 months, as per the regulations of the International Health Regulations (IHR) adopted by the World Health Organization. The certificate attests that the vessel is free of rodents at the time of inspection and can be used to demonstrate compliance with health regulations during port visits within the 6-month validity period. The other options are incorrect, as the certificate does not have a 1-year validity nor is it valid indefinitely as long as other certificates are valid.
