EPPO Standards – PM 3 Phytosanitary procedures

 

You can view individual EPPO Standards by clicking on the links (PDF). You will be redirected to the Wiley Online Library website (publishing the EPPO Bulletin) in a separate browser window. All files are also stored in the EPPO Global Database .

How do I know that new /revised EPPO Standards are available? S​​​​​ubscribe to the ‘Standards’ mailing list 
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 In addition, PM 3 Standards related to methyl bromide have been withdrawn. For convenience, currently adopted Standards and withdrawn Standards are displayed in two separate tables below.
