    This standard describes phytosanitary principles for the protection of plants that are embodied in the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and elaborated in its International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. It covers principles related to the protection of plants, including cultivated and non-cultivated/unmanaged plants, wild flora and aquatic plants, those regarding the application of phytosanitary measures to the international movement of people, commodities and conveyances, as well as those inherent in the objectives of the IPPC. The standard does not alter the IPPC, extend existing obligations, or interpret any other agreement or body of law.

    General guidelines to facilitate the opening of international markets for fruits and vegetables that are fruit fly hosts based on International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 2022
    Also available in:
    The key to opening markets in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the SPS Agreement) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) framework, is to focus on the pest risk, and especially on all the factors contributing to risk and mitigating risk. There is often a tendency to begin with legacy concepts and requirements that were based on assumptions of high risk rather than begin with a fresh view of the evidence and an objective analysis of the risk. By breaking from the dogma of historical designs to embrace the opportunities for innovation created by the WTO-SPS-IPPC framework, researchers and regulators are able to create regulatory designs that more closely align with the concept of rational relationship and conform to relevant standards.
