Certified public health inspections: digital evidence for sanitary controls

Certification of evidence collected during hygiene, health and environmental inspections with legally valid digital proof for inspectors and competent authorities.

Public health, food safety and environmental protection inspections require rigorous documentation of observed conditions and detected non-conformities. Health authority inspectors, food safety operators, environmental agency technicians, and local police produce photos, videos and reports during on-site inspections of food establishments, hospitality premises and workplaces.

Without integrity guarantees and certified timestamps, this evidence can be challenged in sanctioning and judicial proceedings. Italian Legislative Decree 27/2021 and EU Regulation 2017/625 impose verifiable documentation obligations. TrueScreen enables the certification of every piece of evidence with a digital signature, eIDAS timestamp and GPS coordinates.
