Book (stand-alone)Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Approval of fumigation facilities 2014
Also available in:
No results found.Fumigation is a useful measure to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of regulated pests through the international movement of commodities or regulated articles. However, little guidance has been provided to National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) to assist them in assessing whether fumigators can undertake fumigations effectively. Endorsed by the twenty-eighth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Jeju, Republic of Korea in September 2013, th is standard provides guidance on developing appropriate systems for regulating and certifying fumigations to meet importing country requirements. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by the APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries. -
Book (stand-alone)Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Guidelines for the establishment and application of emergency actions and emergency measures 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Normally, phytosanitary import requirements that apply to a particular commodity are determined and made available to the exporting party before exports commence. These phytosanitary measures would be technically justified by the importing party. However, with emergency actions and/or emergency measures they are typically applied immediately in response to an emergency situation without the exporter/exporting country receiving prior notice and full technical justification may not be available at the time of application. Therefore, there are strict conditions attached to the use of emergency actions and emergency measures. This standard provides guidelines to contracting governments on how to establish and apply both phytosanitary emergency actions and emergency measures in a practical manner that follows the requirements of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). This standard was endorsed by the by the twenty -fifth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Beijing, China in August 2007. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries. -
DocumentReport of the APPPC regional workshop on phytosanitary irradiation treatment. Executive summary
25 February – 1 March 2019, Hanoi, Viet Nam
2019Also available in:
No results found.The regional workshop on phytosanitary irradiation treatment was held from 25 February to 1 March 2019 in Hanoi, Vietnam. his workshop focused on the technical background of phytosanitary irradiation, the role that regulatory agencies play in phytosanitary irradiation, food safety and consumer acceptance issues, dosimetry, design and oversight of export and import pathways and auditing of irradiation facilities and systems. With more than 30,000 tonnes of irradiated fresh produce traded in 2017, the use of irradiation as a phytosanitary treatment has been rapidly growing since its continuous commercial use in 1995. Compared to other phytosanitary treatments, phytosanitary irradiation is a reliable, quick and effective non-chemical process that can be applied to a broad range of products. Five breakout group discussion sessions were conducted during the workshop for participants to apply their knowledge gained from the presentations. The sessions discussed: 1) preparing an information strategy for food products which have been subjected to phytosanitary irradiation, 2) assessing dosimetry data, 3) evaluating market access proposals which include phytosanitary irradiation, 4) designing an export pathway which includes phytosanitary irradiation, an appropriate assurance system, and a work plan, and 5) drafting a checklist to assess compliance with requirements of RSPM No. 9 Approval of irradiation facilities for an irradiation facility audit.
