Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    In order for National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) to approve irradiation facilities used for phytosanitary purposes, a common framework to assess the effectiveness and ability of a facility to fulfill all the requirements for the irradiation of commodities is required. Endorsed by the twenty-eighth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Jeju, Republic of Korea in September 2013, this standard provides elements of a quality management system that ar e the necessary minimum for the operation of an irradiation facility. 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.

    Plant quarantine inspectors face a wide variety of tasks on a daily basis in the inspection of regulated articles. Harmonization of inspector training across the region will increase understanding and cooperation among National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs). This training standard was endorsed by the twenty-third session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in August 2003. It aims to provide a sound basis for the development of compe tent and efficient plant quarantine inspectors and to achieve a consistent approach to training of inspectors across the APPPC region. It gives guidance on the development of training requirements for plant quarantine inspectors in phytosanitary inspection theory, methods and procedures. 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.
