Resumen
Descripción
Fumigation is a useful measure to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of regulated pests through the international movement of commodities or regulated articles. However, little guidance has been provided to National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) to assist them in assessing whether fumigators can undertake fumigations effectively. Endorsed by the twenty-eighth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Jeju, Republic of Korea in September 2013, th is standard provides guidance on developing appropriate systems for regulating and certifying fumigations to meet importing country requirements. 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.
