Call for information material for commodity standards for apples (Malus domestica)

The IPPC Secretariat invites the plant health community, IPPC contracting parties and Regional Plant Protection Organizations (RPPOs) to submit technical information to support the development of an international commodity standard for apple fruits (Malus domestica) for consumption—an annex to ISPM 46. Submissions may include data on pests affecting apples, pest risk analyses (PRAs), and technical and phytosanitary measures defined by national or regional legislation. Your input will enhance global plant health standards development and international cooperation. The IPPC Technical Panel on Commodity Standards (TPCS) will meet in December to draft the ISPM 46 Annex: International movement of Malus domestica fruit for consumption. Submission deadline: 15 October 2025
