Synopsis (short abstract) Plant pest detection and pest identification are crucial for the appropriate application of phytosanitary measures that protect plant health. The International Plant Protection (IPPC) diagnostic protocols provide procedures and methods for the official diagnosis of regulated pests that are relevant for international trade. Diagnost protocols are developed by the IPPC and a team of diagnostic protocol authors made up of competent diagnoticians. Globally harmonized diagnostic protocols are not merely scientific publications but adopted international standards to which IPPC contracting parties have agreed.

In 2016, the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures adopted a recommendation on the importance of pest diagnosis. The recommendation stresses the importance of pest diagnosis in underpinning many activities involved in the implementation of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The recommendation encourages regional plant protection organizations and contracting parties to share knowledge and expertise, and support laboratory capacity in diagnostic protocols. Encouraging national plant protection organizations to maximize the utilization of diagnostic protocols as official procedures to adequately fulfil their obligations under the IPPC is essential. There remain, however, some strategic issues associated with pest diagnosis that should be integral to all aspects of the IPPC work program. It is in this context that a survey was conducted within the framework of the Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) on IPPC diagnostic protocols, under the remit of the Implementation and Capacity Development Committee. This report presents the results of the survey, reflects the data received from participants, and illustrates the analysis and recommendations for optimizing the use of diagnostic protocols.
