Certified facility. The treatment fa- cility must be certified by APHIS. Re- certification is required annually, or as often as APHIS directs, depending upon treatments performed, commodities handled, and operations conducted at the facility. In order to be certified, a heat treatment facility must: (1) Have equipment that is capable of adequately circulating air or water (as relevant to the treatment), changing the temperature, and maintaining the changed temperature sufficient to meet the treatment schedule param- eters in the PPQ Treatment Manual or in another treatment schedule ap- proved in accordance with § 305.2. (2) Have equipment used to record, monitor, or sense temperature, main- tained in proper working order. (3) Keep treated and untreated fruits, vegetables, or articles separate so as to prevent reinfestation and spread of pests.
