typographical error of on board date on Cert. of Origin

[ucp800]

Dear All,

May I ask your comment on the following case:

Quote

L/C terms:
46A: document required:
Cert. of Origin in duplicate.

47A:
Minor typographical error is acceptable.


Issuing bank cite the discrepancy of:

1. Cert. of Origin showing on board date 06/08/09 instead of 08/08/09
differ from B/L.

at the pre-print box “departure date”, Cert. of Origin showing 08/08/09
at the column of goods description, Cert. of Origin showing shipped on board Vessel XX on 06/08/09

Negotiating bank claimed that since typographical error is not treated as discrepancy.
L/C does not specifically request Cert. of Origin to show any detail such as shipment date, in the meantime, the departure date on Cert. of Origin is same as B/L. It is obviously the on board date is a typographical error.
Therefore, the discrepancy is invalid.

unquote

Please comment whether the discrepancy is valid or not.

Regards,
ucp 800

does it really matters what the certificate of origin says about 'on board' date. a certificate of origin may show even different references. i think its an additional information and should be disregarded.
