Currently, the TPPT is composed of ten members, and a steward. The steward is the representatives of the SC. The expertise of the members are: Irradiation, fumigation, temperature, modified atmosphere and chemical treatments. The TPPT membership list is posted below at this page.

The adopted phytosanitary treatments annexes to ISPM 28 are available on the IPP as well as the TPPT work programme.
