Descripción
Plant quarantine inspectors face a wide variety of tasks on a daily basis in the inspection of regulated articles. Harmonization of inspector training across the region will increase understanding and cooperation among National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs). This training standard was endorsed by the twenty-third session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in August 2003. It aims to provide a sound basis for the development of compe tent and efficient plant quarantine inspectors and to achieve a consistent approach to training of inspectors across the APPPC region. It gives guidance on the development of training requirements for plant quarantine inspectors in phytosanitary inspection theory, methods and procedures. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by 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.
