Current consultations for draft ISPMs

Following the revision of the standard setting procedure agreed to by IPPC contracting parties at CPM-11 (2016), the first consultation lasts 90 days and takes place from 1 July to 30 September. Once the Standards Committee (SC) approves the draft ISPM for the first consultation, the IPPC Secretariat makes it publicly available and solicits comments through the IPPC Online Comment System (OCS) from contracting parties (CPs) and regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs).

International organizations, national plant protection services of non-CPs, and other entities can submit discussion papers on the draft ISPM to the IPPC Secretariat at [email protected].
