Now open: Diagnostic protocols notification period

Notification period: 1 July - 15 August 2025

IPPC Contracting parties are invited to review the following diagnostic protocols (DPs), approved by the IPPC Standards Committee and submit an objection to their adoption:

• Draft annex to ISPM 27: Pospiviroid species (2018-031); and
• Draft annex to ISPM 27: Meloidogyne mali (2018-019).

Any objections should include suggestions for improving the draft DP. Objections can only be submitted to the IPPC Secretariat through the IPPC Official Contact Point:

• In English: through the online form available here;
• In any other FAO official language: by e-mail to [email protected], using the language-specific templates available here.

If there are no objections, the Standards Committee will adopt the DPs on behalf of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM), according to the IPPC standard setting procedure.

The IPPC Secretariat will then make them available to contracting parties and the CPM will note them.

For more information on the draft DPs or responses of the Technical Panel on Diagnostic Protocols (TPDP) to the consultation comments approved by the SC, please visit the webpage.
