Synopsis (short abstract) This standard provides technical guidance for national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) on the application of fumigation as a phytosanitary measure, encompassing treatments with chemicals that reach the commodity in a gaseous state. This standard also provides guidance for NPPOs on the authorization of treatment providers to conduct fumigation. This standard does not provide details on specific treatments with specific fumigants. Application of modified atmosphere when not in combination with fumigation is not part of this standard.

This standard provides technical guidance for national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) on the application of modified atmosphere treatments (including controlled atmosphere treatments) as phytosanitary measures, including authorization, monitoring and auditing of treatment providers. This standard does not provide details on specific modified atmosphere treatments, such as specific schedules for specific regulated pests on specific commodities, and does not include the use of modified atmosphere for non-phytosanitary purposes, such as minimizing the perishability of foodstuffs or other quality-related uses of the modified atmosphere.

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.

This standard provides technical guidance on the application of ionizing radiation as a phytosanitary measure. This standard does not provide details on specific irradiation treatments, such as specific treatment schedules for specific regulated pests on specific commodities, or treatments used for the production of sterile organisms for pest control.
