Description
This standard was endorsed by NPPO Nepal on 19 December 2014 and approved from the Plant Quarantine Committee of Nepal on 14 July 2015. This standard consists of terms and definitions with specific meaning for phytosanitary systems. It has been developed to provide a harmonized nationally agreed vocabulary associated with the implementation of International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). The standard is adoption of ISPM 5 with minor modification and addition of some terms and definitions considering national requirements. The proposed amendment of ISPM 5 is also considered. Within the context of the IPPC and its ISPMs, all references to plants should be understood to continue to include algae and fungi, consistent with the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.
