EPPO produces a wide selection of publications, books, journals and brochures (in English and French). Some of these publications can be obtained electronically. Most EPPO standards can be retrieved as electronic files from our section 'Standard'. You can also receive information by e-mail (EPPO Reporting Service) and be informed of the availability of new EPPO Standards and new phytosanitary regulations by registering with the EPPO Electronic Documentation Service.
The standard provides details for the conduct of pest risk analysis (PRA) to determine if pests are quarantine pests. It describes the integrated processes to be used for risk assessment as well as the selection of risk management options. S1 It also includes details regarding the analysis of risks of plant pests to the environment and biological diversity, including those risks affecting uncultivated/unmanaged plants, wild flora, habitats and ecosystems contained in the PRA area. Some explanatory comments on the scope of the IPPC in regard to environmental risks are given in Annex 1.
This standard describes the procedures to prepare, maintain and make available lists of regulated pests.
The standard describes the concept of non-regulated pests and identifies their characteristics. It describes the application of the concept in practice and the relevant elements of regulatory systems.
This standard provides guidelines for the development and evaluation of integrated measures in a systems approach as an option for pest risk management under the relevant international standards for pest risk analysis (PRA) designed to meet phytosanitary import requirements for plants, plant products and other regulated articles.
This standard describes the components of a pest eradication programme which can lead to the establishment or re-establishment of pest absence in an area.
This reference standard is a listing of terms and definitions with specific meaning for phytosanitary systems worldwide. It has been developed to provide a harmonized internationally agreed vocabulary associated with the implementation of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs).
- the supplements are not included or annotated
- the notes in the third column may be self-explanatory, or may refer to more detailed notes 1-18, presented at the end of the table of terms and definitions
The Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) is a global partnership that supports developing countries in building their capacity to implement international sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards, guidelines and recommendations as a means to improve their human, animal and plant health status and ability to gain or maintain access to markets.
Since the SPS Agreement applies to most (if not all) trade-related measures taken to regulate IAS, this could be useful, although it is general and not specifically focused on IAS.
