Abstract

National Diagnostic Protocols (NDPs) are diagnostic protocols for the unambiguous taxonomic identification of plant pests. NDPs:

  • are a verified information resource for plant health diagnosticians
  • are consistent with ISPM No. 27 – Diagnostic Protocols for Regulated Pests
  • provide a nationally consistent approach to the identification of plant pests enabling transparency when comparing diagnostic results between laboratories; and,
  • are endorsed by regulatory jurisdictions for use (either within their own facilities or when commissioning from others) in a pest incursion.

Where an International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) diagnostic protocol exists it should be used in preference to NDPs, unless it is shown that the NDP has improved procedures for Australian conditions. NDPs may contain additional information to aid diagnosis. IPPC protocols are available on the IPPC website:
