Plant Health Guide: passporting and marketing requirements

Responsibilities of authorised suppliers

In addition to the requirements in the 'Issuing the Plant Passport' section, authorised suppliers must meet a number of other requirements in relation to their activities, which are summarised at Appendix G. As part of the authorisation process a 'Person Responsible' is nominated to liaise with the SERPID Horticulture and Marketing Unit and to take responsibility for ensuring that these requirements are met. This is an important role which is monitored by the SERPID Horticultural Officer during inspection visits.
