State-of-the-art requirements based on contemporary
evidence
The Plant Health Management Standard is at the heart of the
Plant Healthy Certification Scheme. The development of the first
version of the Standard involved the input from over 30
organisations and businesses. Since then there have been two
minor updates and our current version of the Standard is 1.2
The Standard will always be improved through periodic updates.
This ‘standard setting’ process of continual improvement is a
central tenet of the Scheme and complying with the Standard.
By working with our Technical Advisory Group and plant health
researchers we aim to integrate feedback and evidence to
develop an increasingly robust framework for plant biosecurity.
We will aim to update the Plant Healthy E-Learning modules and
the Self-assessment system in line with updates to the Standard.
