Health certificate (Bulgarian Food Safety Agency Form No. 35) Translation

BFSA Form No. 35 was used as a Bulgarian-English health certificate for the export of foodstuffs and/or materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. It is not a certificate of an individual person’s health. The record links defined goods and a shipment with the producer, exporter, consignee and official certification by the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency through the competent regional directorate.

Translation is relevant when an existing certificate in this form must be submitted in a language other than English, or when the recipient requires a certified translation of the entire export set. The former form number is reproduced exactly without suggesting that it is the current template for a new shipment.

Material fields may include the producer, exporter and consignee names and addresses, country of origin and destination, description of food or materials, codes and marks, quantity, net and gross weight, number and type of packages, batch, production and expiry dates, temperature and storage conditions.

Certificate number and date, means of transport, place of loading, route, container, seal, invoice, specification and declarations must remain linked to the same shipment. Product and ingredient names are aligned with labels, specifications and commercial records when those documents are included in the commission.

The former form contains parallel Bulgarian and English text. When it is translated into a third language, the correspondence between the two columns is checked without assuming that one version is automatically complete. Headings, numbering, tables, tick boxes, blank fields and certification clauses are reproduced in a readable structure.

Company names, registration details, addresses, Latin or technical names, units, decimal separators, dates, batches, shelf life, container and seal numbers receive separate checks. An illegible or blank entry is not invented; it is represented according to what is visible in the source.

An existing Bulgarian certificate under former BFSA Form No. 35 commonly carries a reference number, signature and seal of the competent Regional Food Safety Directorate. The certified-translation format and any further legalisation depend on the destination, recipient and public status of the original presented.

The current BFSA list contains newer forms for exports of food and food-contact materials, including bilingual versions under different numbers. La Fit Trans translates the document supplied; it does not issue a health certificate or replace BFSA/RFSD determination of the form applicable to a new export.

Price depends on the language pair, pages, completed fields, tables, number of products, seal legibility and the presence of an invoice, specification, packing list, declaration or transport record. A certificate for one product is a different volume from a set with multiple batches and attachments.

Certified copies, additional counterparts, notarial or administrative work, courier and translation of attachments are calculated separately from the core text. The quotation identifies the exact set so that the included pages and attachments are clear.

The schedule includes form preparation, translation, independent revision and final checks of names, quantities, weights, dates, batches, transport data and certification details. A legible certificate with few items supports a short timetable; multiple tables, handwritten entries or unclear seals require additional time.

Translation time is separate from issue or reissue by the competent authority, customs processing and confirmation with the consignee. For a fixed shipment date, revision, certification, paper counterparts and delivery are planned as part of the service.

A legible colour PDF or photographs of every page allow the language, product lines, tables, signatures, seals and attachments to be assessed. Non-essential commercial data may be masked for an initial quotation, while the form title, structure, line count and certification area remain visible.

An electronic copy is sufficient for preparation and translation in many cases. Any need for the original, certified copy or paper counterpart is determined separately by the recipient and the selected certification format.

The ISO 17100 process separates translation from independent revision. Control covers food and trade terminology, shipment parties, products, codes, quantities, units, dates, batches, storage conditions, transport and official details.

La Fit Trans combines document translation, an appropriate certification format, additional counterparts and delivery. The service is focused on actual submission of the certificate without changing its content or promising that an obsolete or unsuitable form will be accepted for a new export procedure.
