Four draft specifications for ISPMs were approved by the Standards Committee in November 2009 for member consultation. Specifications outline the content and scope a future International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) and provide the expert drafting group with directions on what to consider while drafting the ISPM. The guidelines for submission of comments, the electronic template to be used to send comments and the draft specifications are available on the IPP: https://www.ippc.int/id/190935?language=en. If you have problems downloading the files, they can be obtained from the IPPC Secretariat on request (e-mail: [email protected]). The consultation period of 60 days ends 13 February 2010. Please note that all comments on these specifications should be submitted to the IPPC Secretariat through official contact points.
