Container Cleanliness Industry Advisory Group (CCIAG)

Background

Recognizing that industry involvement in the SCTF was essential, the Friends of the Chair at CPM-16 (2022) suggested that the CPM consider establishing an industry advisory body through the silent-consent process. The SCTF chairperson also recalled that one point made in the Friends of the Chair meeting was that the CPM needed to be open to industry-led solutions that could be applied in combination with IPPC-specific guidance.

In this regard, the CPM-16 (2022) agreed to establish an industry advisory body on sea containers and have its chairperson as a member of the focus group.
