How and where can I find the latest version of an EPPO Standard?
Note: as a new series of EPPO Standards has been created 'PM 10 Phytosanitary Treatments', phytosanitary treatments which were previously included in series 'PM 3 Phytosanitary procedures' are gradually being moved to this new PM 10 series when updated. In addition, PM 3 Standards related to methyl bromide have been withdrawn. For convenience, currently adopted Standards and withdrawn Standards are displayed in two separate tables below.
