Equipment arrives at the gate, requesting a cleaning action. To access the cleaning request and eECD booklet, the cleaning company will have to determine both, the transport company that owns the equipment, as well as the equipment itself. If found, the cleaning company will specify its cleaning location to start a cleaning.

Identify transport company

Choose a cleaning location

Once you decided to start the cleaning action and in case there are multiple cleaning locations set up within one and the same cleaning organization, a "logged in" may have access to several cleaning locations and such user can choose the cleaning location where this equipment is being cleaned. The selected cleaning location is used to generate the address details on the eECD so the obtained ID of the cleaning location is used later on in the eECD process.

GET {eecdapi}/cleanings/locations/users

Usage

  • Retrieve the available cleaning location for active user

Information

  • Returns an array of available cleaning locations for logged in user

Result

Get cleaning locations for user

Initiate for cleaning

POST {eecdapi}/equipment/{equipmentId}/cleaningactions

Usage

  • Start cleaning action

Information

  • Two types of cleaning actions are supported: standard or polymer. The type of cleaning determines whether or not extra cleaning requirements, defined by specific EFTCO codes, need to be performed when completing and inspecting the cleaning. Cleaning actions are considered standard by default. A Polymer cleaning does an automatic validation on the presence of the right EFTCO cleaning codes  on the ECD and as described within the EFTCO-ECTA-Cefic best practice guideline for polymer cleaning.

  • By default, the driver of the equipment needs to verify the cleaning action with his signature. Cleaning companies may choose to mark the cleaning action as "Unaccompanied", meaning that  this cleaning will be executed while the driver is not waiting and the cleaned equipment will be picked at a later moment. The truck driver is not present to sign off the ECD however the cleaning station is signing off on behalf of the driver and at the moment of cleaner signoff.

Body (JSON object)

  "locationId": "string",
  "type": "Standard",
  "isUnaccompanied": false
