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. -

Book (stand-alone)Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Approval of irradiation facilities 2014
Also available in:
No results found.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.
