    ISPM 3. Guidelines for the export, shipment, import and release of biological control agents and other beneficial organisms
    Adopted 2005
    2017
    This standard was first adopted by the Twenty-eighth Session of the FAO Conference in November 1995 as "Code of conduct for the import and release of exotic biological control agents". This standard provides guidelines for risk management related to the export, shipment, import and release of biological control agents and other beneficial organisms. It lists the related responsibilities of contracting parties to the IPPC, national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) or other responsible authorities, importers and exporters (as described in the standard). The standard addresses biological control agents capable of self-replication (including parasitoids, predators, parasites, nematodes, phytophagous organisms, and pathogens such as fungi, bacteria and viruses), as well as sterile insects and other beneficial organisms (such as mycorrhizae and pollinators), and includes those packaged or formulated as commercial products. Provisions are also included for import for research in quarantine stations of non-indigenous biological control agents and other beneficial organisms. The scope of this standard does not include living modified organisms, issues related to registration of biopesticides, or microbial agents intended for vertebrate pest control.

    Guidelines for the registration of microbial, botanical and semiochemical pest control agents for plant protection and public health uses

    These guidelines aim to provide practical guidance in the registration of microorganisms, botanicals and semiochemicals for plant protection and public health. The document focuses primarily on data requirements for registration and evaluation approaches. It provides national authorities with a framework for registering biopesticides, identifies aspects where they differ from chemical pesticides, and indicates where registration authorities should pay special attention. Specific chapters are ded icated to each type of biopesticide: microbials, botanicals and semiochemicals. These guidelines are complementary to the two technical Guidelines already published in the framework of the International FAO/WHO Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management: the Guidelines on registration of pesticides (2010) and the Guidelines on data requirements for the registration of pesticides (2014).

    These guidelines have been developed to address this need and ensure that the registration objectives are adequately met. The guidelines evolve from common post-registration practices in many countries, especially the following: ◦Various monitoring activities ◦Training programmes on safe use of pesticides ◦Licensing schemes for pesticide handlers and companies ◦Enforcement of regulations and suitable control measures ◦Information exchange
