Practical application

Implementation records should capture certificate number, vehicle identifier, registered owner, registered scrapper, registered vehicle scrapping facility, issue date, transfer event, and links to the later certificate of vehicle scrapping.

Minespider commentary

For Minespider, the Certificate of Deposit is the proof object for transfer into the scrapping chain. It should not be treated as final disposal; it should link forward to scrapping, treatment, and certificate-of-vehicle-scrapping evidence.

Common confusions

  • Treating Certificate of Deposit as proof that final vehicle scrapping is complete.
  • Recording a certificate without linking the vehicle and registered facility.
  • Confusing ownership transfer evidence with material-recovery evidence.
