DocumentOther documentISPM 38. International movement of seeds
Adopted 2017
2021This standard provides guidance to assist national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) in identifying, assessing and managing the pest risk associated with the international movement of seeds (as a commodity). The standard also provides guidance on procedures to establish phytosanitary import requirements to facilitate the international movement of seeds; on inspection, sampling and testing of seeds; and on the phytosanitary certification of seeds for export and re-export. Under ISPM 5 (Glossary of phytosanitary terms) seeds (as a commodity) are intended for planting and not for consumption. Viable seeds, which are a sample of a seed lot, imported for laboratory testing or destructive analysis are also addressed by this standard. This standard does not apply to grain or vegetative plant parts (e.g. tubers of potatoes). -
DocumentNormative documentISPM 39. International movement of wood
Adopted 2017
2017This standard provides guidance for the assessment of the pest risk of wood and describes phytosanitary measures that may be used to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pests associated with the international movement of wood, in particular those that infest trees. This standard covers only raw wood commodities and material resulting from the mechanical processing of wood: (1) round wood and sawn wood (with or without bark); and (2) materials resulting from the mechanical processing of wood such as wood chips, sawdust, wood wool and wood residue (all with or without bark). This standard covers wood of gymnosperms and angiosperms (i.e. dicotyledons and some monocotyledons, such as palms), but not bamboo and rattan. Wood packaging material is covered within the scope of ISPM 15 (Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade) and therefore is not covered in this standard. Products manufactured from wood (such as furniture), processed wood material (e.g. pressure treated, glued or heated wood) and wooden handicrafts are not covered in this standard. Wood may also carry contaminating pests; however, they are not covered in this standard.
