Revision of ISPM No. 2: Guidelines for pest risk analysis

FAO Conference adopted ISPM No. 2 (Guidelines for Pest Risk Analysis) in 1995. This was before the revision of the IPPC in 1997 and also before many National Plant Protection Organizations had experience with pest risk analysis. Subsequent revision of the IPPC and the rapid advancement of pest risk analysis in practice created the need for updating the guidance provided by ISPM No. 2.

ISPM No. 2 describes the process of pest risk analysis for phytosanitary purposes. The standard should provide general and conceptual guidance for pest risk analysis and an introduction to the more specific standards dealing with risk analysis under the IPPC.

The Expert Working Group should undertake a review of ISPM No. 2 with the aim of reformulation into a new standard with general guidelines for PRA for phytosanitary purposes.
