Process

Content of protocols

As provided in ISPM 27:2006, IPPC diagnostic protocols provide procedures and methods for the official diagnosis of regulated pests that are relevant for international trade. They contain the minimum requirements for reliable diagnosis of the specified regulated pests, and provide flexibility to ensure that methods are appropriate for use in the full range of circumstances for which a diagnostic protocol may be used (e.g. from detection of a pest in a consignment, to surveillance, to routine diagnosis). Only methods of relevance for diagnostics are given in the protocol. The methods included in diagnostic protocols are selected on the basis of their sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. Information related to these factors is provided for each of these methods.

In order to achieve high quality IPPC diagnostic protocols, we are seeking expert input on the protocols listed below.
