IntroductionThis guide explains the requirements for the commercial marketing of certain plantsand plant products in the Single Market. This includes provisions on producerauthorisation as well as requirements on plant passporting and supplier documentation.Different rules apply to:

• travellers wishing to bring plants back from another EC member state or thirdcountry (those countries outside the EC) for their own domestic use.

• imports from third countries. For further details, refer to The Plant Health Guidefor Importers.

• trade between the EU and Switzerland is subject to a separate agreement. Underthis agreement, certain material that previously required a phytosanitary certificatewhen traded between the EU and Switzerland may now be traded with a PlantPassport. See Appendices A/1-D/1 for details.

There may be different plant passporting and supplier documentation requirementsfor other member states. Please contact your local Plant Health and Seeds Inspector(PHSI) for further details. See Appendix J for contact details.

The guide is not intended to be used as a substitute for the Regulations or as anaccurate interpretation of the law.

The Single MarketWithin the Single Market, plant health checks are focused on the place of production.There are no border checks for plants and plant products travelling between ECcountries, although spot checks may take place anywhere in the trade chain. A limitedrange of material which hosts the most serious (“quarantine”) pests and diseasesrequires a plant passport to facilitate its movement.

If plant passports are required, you need to issue them even if you only trade withbusinesses in the UK: they are not restricted only to plants sent to other EC memberstates. As there are no plant health inspections within the EC at national borders, it isimportant that plants leave production nurseries in a healthy condition to prevent thespread of quarantine pests and diseases. Plant passports are intended to ensure thatonly plants free from quarantine pests and diseases are traded. Phytosanitary (“planthealth”) certificates are not required for EC trade.

In addition to the plant passporting requirements, plants and plant propagatingmaterial of certain genera which host significant (“quality”) pests and diseases must beaccompanied by a supplier document. This document confirms that the material beingtraded is substantially free of quality affecting organisms. In the majority of cases thisdocument will be the same as the plant passport, and separate arrangements will onlyneed to be made if passports are not already being issued.

Single Market arrangements do not affect exports to non-EC countries. If you requireadvice or assistance with exports of plants and plant products to countries outside theEC please contact your local PHSI or Defra. All plants and some plant products

4


imported into the United Kingdom from countries outside the EC require phytosanitarycertificates and are inspected either at the point of entry or (by arrangement) at anapproved destination. For further details, refer to The Plant Health Guide for Importers.

Who Needs to be Authorised?You will need to be authorised if you are:

• a grower of plants which require plant passports, listed at Appendices A-D

• a commercial producer of the plants and plant products, listed at Appendix A of thisbooklet, regardless of whether your plants are intended for further growing on orfor sale or movement to retail outlets

• a commercial producer of the plants and plant products, listed at Appendix B, if theyare to be sold or moved to commercial growers to be grown on

• a commercial producer of the bulbs and corms, listed at Appendix C, if they are tobe sold or moved to commercial growers to be grown on

• an importer of plants or plant products from non-EC countries which need aphytosanitary certificate to enter the EC, regardless of whether they subsequentlyneed a plant passport for trade within the EC

• a commercial producer and/or importer of plants and plant products destined for EC“Protected Zones” requiring special “ZP” plant passports (see the section on ‘PlantPassports and Protected Zones’)

• a trader in plants which already have passports and require a passport when theyare split up or mixed with other consignments in readiness for sale or movementto other growers or retailers. This would include some dispatching centres andcollective warehouses

In addition, you will need to be authorised if you are:

• a commercial trader or importer of any type of ornamental plant propagatingmaterial (including seeds)

• a commercial producer or propagator of the specific fruit and vegetable plants(and fruit seeds) listed in Appendices E and F

Who Does Not Need to be Authorised?You do not need to be authorised if you are:

• a retailer, providing you do not fall into any of the categories in the section above onregistration for plant passporting purposes. ‘Retailers’ includes shops, garden centres,businesses which sell or move plants to the final consumer by mail order, and retailsales of plants at fêtes or shows

• a landscaper, providing you do not fall into any of the categories in the sectionabove on registration for plant passporting purposes

• a commercial grower dealing wholly in plants which do not require passports

5


• an individual growing plants for your own use, including for amateur breedingprogrammes

• an organiser or member of a gardening club

• a Customs clearance agent

• a trader who receives plants which have passport labels down to their smallesttradable unit. For example, if you know that you always sell or move on plantsin batches of 10, you could ask for the plants to be supplied to you with labelscontaining passport details for each batch of 10. If operating this system yoursupplier must include full passport details on the label.

In addition, if you are not otherwise covered by the categories listed in the ‘Who Needsto be Authorised’ section, you will not need to be authorised if:

• you market only ornamental plant propagating material (including seeds) foramateur use

• you market only finished ornamental plants, which are not intended forpropagating purposes

• you market only fruit or vegetable plants (or fruit seeds) that are not included inAppendices E and F

• you market only fruit and vegetable plants (or fruit seeds) covered by Appendices Eand F, and are a small producer (grower or propagator) of such material all of whoseproduction and sales are for the local market

How to Apply for AuthorisationIf you think you may need to be authorised, contact your local PHSI who will discussthe requirements with you, free of charge. See Appendix J for contact details.

If you wish to issue plant passports, your premises and plants must be inspected beforeyou can be authorised to issue plant passports. Once authorised by the PHSI you canissue as many plant passports as you need. This authorisation will also allow you toissue supplier documents. A separate authorisation will only be necessary to issuesupplier documents if you are not already authorised to issue plant passports.

Authorisation involves the provision of basic details about your business and itsactivities, which may be followed up by a PHSI visit. If this is necessary, you will beinformed by your PHSI.

Visits will also be necessary to maintain authorisations to issue plant passports. Suchvisits will also be used as an opportunity to check on authorisations to issue supplierdocuments; separate visits for such purposes are not routinely carried out.

When you are authorised you will be given a unique Defra registration number.Authorisation lasts for 12 months and therefore you must re-apply for authorisationeach year.

Responsibilities of Authorised SuppliersIn addition to the requirements in the ‘Issuing the Plant Passport’ section, authorisedsuppliers 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 ’PersonResponsible‘ is nominated to liaise with the PHSI and to take responsibility for ensuringthat these requirements are met. This is an important role which is monitored by thePHSI during inspection visits.

Responsibilities of Others Who Market Plant MaterialEven if you are not authorised, you still need to:

• retain passports you have received accompanying plants listed at Appendix Afor at least one year. This is to help the PHSI to trace back any outbreak ofquarantine pests or diseases. If passports are missing you should insist yoursupplier provides them

• report suspected quarantine or non-indigenous pests or diseases to your localPHSI immediately

• issue supplier documentation (in accordance with Appendix H) for the fruit andvegetable plants (and fruit seeds) listed in Appendices E and F, except for retail sales.This requirement does not apply if you are a small producer of such material all ofwhose production and sales are for the local market.

Charges for Authorisation and Plant PassportingThere will be a time based charge for any inspections associated with authorising theissue of plant passports. The scale of fees is set out at Appendix L.

You will be charged for inspections associated with your authorisation to issue plantpassports. You will not be charged for routine visits, spot checks, or visits associatedwith statutory pest or disease eradication.

The PHSI will carry out chargeable inspections, the number of which will depend onthe plant health risk associated with the plants you grow and the size of your business.Generally they would range from two to four chargeable visits during the year; yourlocal PHSI can advise on the number of chargeable visits and the cost. If you do notwant to be responsible for issuing plant passports, the PHSI can do so as a chargeableservice.

There are no charges where:

• you applied for plant passport authorisation and Defra decides you do not need tobe authorised

• you are authorised to issue supplier documents only (i.e. you do not market plants orproducts covered by the plant passporting requirements)

Separate charges apply for inspections undertaken in connection with material whichrequires a phytosanitary certificate when imported from non-EC countries. For moreinformation visit our website or contact your local PHSI. 7


Issuing the Plant PassportDefra does not issue a standard plant passport. Instead, certain information mustappear on your usual trade documents. Your local PHSI can advise on the best way ofincorporating the required information into your system. Some EC member states usea standardised plant passport but all member states accept our non-standard ones.Information on those plants and plant products which require a plant passport areset out in Appendices A – D.

The information in Appendix H must appear (in capital letters, if in manuscript) on theplant passport:

You may choose which one of the following three options you prefer when issuingplant passports:

• all of the information detailed in Appendix H may appear on a delivery noteor other document travelling with the consignment. This is the simplest optionfor many suppliers;

• passporting information may be split between labels attached to the plantsor plant products and the delivery note or other document accompanyingthe consignment. In this case, full details (see Appendix H) must still appear on thedelivery note or accompanying document while a shorter list (those listed at i-v ofAppendix H) can also appear on labels;

• all the details given at Appendix H may appear on labels attached to theplants, plant products or their packaging, without appearing on a deliverynote or accompanying document. If you choose this option, there must be atleast one label for each “tradable unit” (that is, plants of the same variety, grown inthe same lot, by the same producer and destined for the same customer). Your localPHSI can advise. You must keep a record of all plant passports issued.

Passporting details may appear on the same delivery note (or other document) asinformation on non-passported items. The passporting elements must, however, beclearly identifiable. For example, if a delivery consists of Malus and Cotoneaster (whichrequire passports), and Rosa (which does not), information on all three items may belisted on the same document. However, passported stock must be easily distinguishedfrom the rest, for example, by adding a ‘P’, ‘PP’ or an asterisk. Your local PHSI canadvise on how best to incorporate passport details on your usual trade documentsand an example is included at Appendix I.

Passporting details are required regardless of the size of the consignment. For example, ifa delivery consists of just one Citrus plant together with any number of non-passportableitems, the details at Appendix H must still appear on a label as described above.

Plants sent to EC Protected Zones (see the section on ‘Plant Passports and ProtectedZones’ and Appendix D) may require a plant passport even if they are for retail sale,landscaping or your own domestic use. We would advise plant passporting all suchplants going to a protected zone. Private householders who are moving house toanother member state and intending to take plants with them are advised to contactthe PHSI to check whether they need to comply with any protected zone requirements.There may also be special requirements for commercial growers. For example,

8


commercial growers wishing to send plants which are fireblight hosts to the IrishRepublic, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man or the Channel Islands must have their nurseriesregistered as being within fireblight “Buffer Zones”. If you wish to send plants or plantproducts to an EC Protected Zone, please contact your local PHSI for further advice.

For any type of ornamental plant propagating material and the fruit and vegetableplants (and fruit seeds) listed in Appendices E and F additional supplier documentationrequirements apply, as outlined in Appendix H. However, in practice a single documentis usually used for both purposes, with the plant passport being adapted to incorporateany additional details required. Please note that:

• the supplier document requirements for ornamental propagating material apply atall stages of marketing, except retail sales

• even though it is only growers who must be authorised in relation to the fruit andvegetable plants (and fruit seeds) listed in Appendices E and F, the requirements onsupplier documentation apply whenever such material is marketed, except retailsales; but small producers of such material, all of whose production and sales are forthe local market, do not need to issue supplier documents at any stage

Plant Passports and Protected ZonesAppendix D lists EC Protected Zones and plants and plant products which requirepassports to enter and move within them. Appendix K lists the EC codes to be used forProtected Zone (“ZP”) plant passports. There is no EC legislation governing the formatof “ZP” plant passports; in the United Kingdom three different systems are acceptable:

• the code “ZP” may appear on the passport followed by the country codes for allmember states who have a protected zone for that organism. For example, forBegonia plants to enter a Protected Zone for Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly), theplant passport would include the following: ZP – UK, FI, IRL, P, S. The consignmentmay then move freely throughout the United Kingdom and all other Protected Zonesfor Bemisia tabaci;

• the code “ZP” may appear on the passport followed by just the country code of theconsignment’s intended destination. For example, to send Begonia plants to Finland,you could use the code ZP – FI. However, the consignment would not then beeligible to enter a Bemisia tabaci Protected Zone in any other country;

• the code “ZP” may appear on the passport followed by the appropriate referencefrom the Annex to the EC Directive which lists Protected Zones (CommissionDirective 2001/32/EC (as amended)). For example, in the Annex to the Directive,Bemisia tabaci Protected Zones are listed as point a2. To send plants to a Bemisiatabaci Protected Zone you could therefore use the code ZP – a2. Using this code,the plants could enter all Bemisia tabaci Protected Zones. Refer to Appendix K forthe correct EC code.

Please contact your local PHSI if you need further information on Protected Zones.

Plant Passports for Seed Potatoes If you grow seed potatoes you must be registered with Defra for plant passportingpurposes. You do this by submitting annual application forms for the Seed PotatoClassification Scheme to your local PHSI.

Seed potatoes require plant passports at every stage of the trade chain (includingto retailers) within the EC, regardless of whether they remain within the UK or aredestined for another member state. With certain exceptions (see below), they must alsocarry official classification labels (provided by your PHSI) when they are marketed. Tosimplify these requirements, official labels contain all the information needed to serveboth classification and plant passporting purposes: separate passports are not needed.

The official label states the following information:

• Member State (UK)

• Country of production (England and Wales)

• Species (except basic and certified seed potatoes)

• Class

• Category (pre-basic, basic or certified)

• EC grade (if appropriate)

• Variety

• Grower’s number

Classified seed potatoes moved ‘as lifted’ over 50km to a store for storing, grading andmarketing must be plant passported.

Seed potatoes must also be passported when moved from the farm to a packingstation off the farm. Please consult your PHSI.

Subject to certain conditions, quantities of less than 50 kg of seed potatoes for retailsale do not need to carry official labels; you may need to provide plant passports forsuch material if it is not officially labelled. If you are involved in re-packaging of seedpotatoes for supply to retail outlets you will need to be authorised to plant passportthese retail packs. Please consult your PHSI for more details.

The following information is generally added by the PHSI to the official classificationlabels so that they may be used as plant passports:

• the words “EC plant passport”;

• “EW” (a code for the Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate in England and Wales);

• Protected Zone Code “ZP: description of rhizomania Protected Zones in accordancewith Appendix D or “ZP d.1” – if you are moving seed potatoes within the countriesor areas listed in the Appendix. These areas are designated as rhizomania ProtectedZones. This code indicates that the potatoes meet the special protected zonerequirements for rhizomania laid down in EC Directives. As a result of the ending ofthe rhizomania Protected Zone in Great Britain in 2001, any field used to produce

10


seed potatoes on a farm where beet rhizomania disease is known to occur, willrequire a soil test to qualify the potatoes for ZP d.1 status unless the potatoes arewashed free of soil. On farms where rhizomania has not been found, ZP d.1certification will be issued for fields where no beet has been grown since the endingof the Protected Zone. ZP a.6 will be added to the label for consignments sent to thecountries listed in Appendix D to confirm the protected zone requirements for PCNhave been met.

“Trace Back” for Ware PotatoesWare potatoes do not require plant passports for trade within the EC but are subjectto a “trace back” regime which enables PHSI to trace any plant health problem backto its source. EC legislation requires that producers are registered. Defra currently usesthe British Potato Council (BPC) register so that producers need not register twice.Please contact your local PHSI for advice if you do not have such a number.

To comply with trace back requirements, your BPC registration number should appearon potato bags or on labels attached to the bags or other packaging. If the potatoesare repackaged at warehouses or despatch centres the registration number of thatcentre should be used. The warehouse or despatch centre must maintain adequaterecords to enable PHSI to trace potatoes back to the individual producer if necessary.

Replacement Plant PassportsWhen a trader splits or mixes plants for sale or movement where the plants have alreadybeen passported, a plant passport is required for onward movement of the plant. Inthese circumstances, a replacement passport bearing the marking “RP” (replacementpassport) must be issued. There are two options for replacement passports:

• the registration number of the original producer must be shown along with yourown. For example, EC Plant Passport UK/EW 34567 WK1/ RP 12345 (WK 1 being theindividual serial, week or batch number, 34567 being your own registration numberand 12345 being that of the original producer); or

• if you are concerned about identifying your supplier to your customer, you canchoose your own code for the original producer and use this instead. In this case,you must have a different code for each producer. Your PHSI must be able to identifythe original producer from the code and you must make this information availableshould your PHSI need it. For example, if you give a producer the code AB1, theinformation would look like this:

EC Plant Passport UK/EW 34567 WK1/RP AB1

Replacement passports must only include ZP details if these were included by theoriginal producer. Ordinary passports must not be upgraded to a ZP passport furtherdown the trade chain.

11


Action on Receipt of Plant Passports You must retain any plant passports (including replacement plant passports) youreceive for at least one year to enable your PHSI to trace back any outbreaks of pestsor diseases. Where your supplier has used the delivery note as the passport or hassent a split passport (with some information on the label and the remainder on anaccompanying document) you need only retain the accompanying document. If all thepassporting information is on a label, the label must be kept. However, this is notalways practical (for example, where labels are firmly glued to plant trays), and somelabels are easily misplaced. In such cases, the passporting information may be copiedonto a manual or computer log providing this is easily accessible for PHSI inspection.

You must also retain records (either written or in another indelible fashion) on theplant propagating material you buy or sell and any mixing carried out duringpackaging, storage, transport or delivery. It is not necessary to retain the originalsupplier document (unless part of this forms the plant passport). Further informationis available at Appendix G.

Records

Producers must:

– keep records of any plantspurchased for storage or plantingon the premises, those underproduction, or sold to others. Theserecords can be kept manually or ona computer database. They will beexamined by the PHSI at least oncea year and must be legible andaccessible. These records must bemaintained for at least one year.

– keep any plant passports receivedfor at least one year. If passportsare required but missing, thesupplier must be asked to providethem.

Records

Fruit and vegetable suppliers otherthan producers – must keep recordson buying, selling and delivery ofplant material, together with recordson composition and origins mixedduring packaging, storage ortransport or at delivery.

This does not apply to those whomarket only small quantities of plantmaterial to non-professionals. Iflarger quantities are marketed,but still to non-professionals, it isnecessary only to keep records onbuying, selling and delivery of plantmaterial.

Fruit and vegetable producers – mustkeep records on mixing of plantmaterial, and of occurrences ofharmful organisms and measurestaken against such occurrences.

In addition, records must bemaintained for at least one year(three years for fruit plants) on plantmaterial bought for storage orplanting, under production, ordespatched to others. Also recordsmust be maintained for one year onany chemical treatments applied.

Records

Ornamental suppliers mustkeep records of their sales andpurchases of propagating materialand retain them for at least one year.They must also keep records of thecomposition and origin of mixed lotssold in a single consignment.

Suppliers who are importers mustkeep documentary evidence of theircontracts relating to the import ofpropagating material fromthird countries for at least one yearafter the contract has concluded.

Ornamental producers mustalso keep records of their monitoringof critical points in the productionprocess which influence the qualityof material.

Passporting Fruit/vegetable Ornamental


Appendix G

Responsibilities of those Affected by the Plant Passportingand Marketing Requirements

Production requirementsProducers must:– keep a detailed plan of the areas

where plants are grown and/orstored

– notify the local PHSI of:(a) a change of species of plantspropagated, grown or traded (b) a change in the location ofpropagation, growing or trading(c) a change in the stage of growthat which plants and plant productsare marketed(d) a change to the authorisedperson (the person registered withthe PHSI for plant passportingpurposes)

– nominate either themselves, or anemployee who is fully familiar withplant production, as a “responsibleperson” to liaise with the PHSI andto issue (or supervise the issue of)plant passports. If the “responsibleperson” is away, alternativearrangements may have to bemade depending on the length ofabsence

– carry out frequent visualinspections of the premises andstock to ensure plant healthstandards are maintained

– allow access for the PHSI to inspectyour premises and stock, to takesamples and check your records

– report any outbreaks or suspectedoutbreaks of quarantine or non-indigenous pests or diseases to thePHSI immediately

– undertake any specialrequirements: for example todestroy or treat any diseased plantsrequired by the PHSI

Production requirementsProducers must:– treat or, where appropriate,

remove any plant material showingvisible signs or symptoms ofharmful quality organisms at thegrowing crop stage

– report to the PHSI any plantmaterial that fails to comply withthe requirements for substantialfreedom as a result of the presenceof harmful organisms

– keep plant material in lots ofhomogeneous composition andorigin during growing, lifting orremoval from parent material

– monitor the production processes,including:(a) the quality of plant materialused to start the production process(b) the sowing, pricking-out,potting up and planting of plantmaterial(c) the cultivation plan and methodand general crop care(d) the multiplication andharvesting operations(e) hygiene, treatments, packaging,storage, transport andadministration

– nominate either yourself, or anemployee who is fully familiar withplant production, as a “responsibleperson” to liaise with the PHSI. Ifthe “responsible person” is away, itmay be necessary to makealternative arrangementsdepending on the length ofabsence

– to co-operate with and allow accessto the PHSI to inspect the premisesand stock, to take samples andcheck records

– carry out frequent visualinspections of your premises andstock to ensure quality standardsare maintained

For those producing bulbs of garlicand shallots, use only material whichhas derived directly from a cropwhich has been checked in activegrowth for substantial freedom fromquality pests and diseases.For those producing citrus plants(ornamental or fruit), use onlymaterial which has derived frominitial material which has beenchecked and tested individually forviruses and virus-like organisms listedin the Regulations. The plants musthave been checked during the lastcycle of vegetation for substantialfreedom from such viruses and virus-like organisms and any rootstocksused must not be susceptible toviroids.

Production requirementsProducers must:– treat or, where appropriate,

remove any plant material showingvisible signs or symptoms ofharmful quality organisms

– identify and monitor critical pointsin their production process whichinfluence the quality of thematerial

– take samples where necessary andsend them to be analysed in alaboratory with suitable facilitiesand expertise

– ensure that during production lotsof propagating material remainseparately identifiable

For those producing flower bulbs,use only material which has deriveddirectly from material which, at thetime the crop was growing, waschecked and found to besubstantially free from any harmfulorganisms and diseases or any signsor symptoms of such organisms anddiseases.For those producing citrus plants(ornamental or fruit), use onlymaterial which has derived frominitial material which has beenchecked and tested individually forviruses and virus-like organisms listedin the Regulations. The plants musthave been checked during the lastcycle of vegetation for substantialfreedom from such viruses and virus-like organisms and any rootstocksused must not be susceptible toviroids.

Marketing requirements

Freedom from quarantine pests anddiseases.


In addition to compliance with therequirements on freedom fromquarantine pests and diseases, thematerial must be substantially freefrom any harmful organisms ordiseases of quality affectingsignificance which could reduce theusefulness of the material for itsintended purpose. In particular itmust be substantially free fromorganisms listed in the Regulations; ifthe presence of such an organism issufficient for material not to be ableto meet the requirement forsubstantial freedom, this should bereported to the PHSI.

It must be substantially free from anydefect likely to impair its quality forpropagation or planting and, forvegetable plants, should havesatisfactory vigour and dimensions inrespect of their usefulness forpropagating, planting or as finishedplants. In addition, vegetable plantsshould have an appropriate balancebetween roots, stems and leaves.

It must have adequate identity andpurity relative to its genus or speciesexcept for rootstocks which don’tbelong to a variety.

It is in lots of sufficientlyhomogeneous composition andorigin; except where the material ismarketed to persons notprofessionally engaged in theproduction or sale of ornamentalplants or propagating material.


In addition to compliance with therequirements on freedom fromquarantine pests and diseases, thematerial must be substantially freefrom any harmful organisms ordiseases of quality affectingsignificance which could reduce theusefulness of the material for itsintended purpose.

It must have satisfactory vigour anddimensions in respect of itsusefulness for propagating materialand, for seeds, have satisfactorygermination capacity.

It must have adequate identity andpurity relative to its genus or speciesor group of plants and, wheremarketed with reference to a variety,have satisfactory varietal identityand purity.

It is in lots of sufficientlyhomogeneous composition andorigin.

There are also specific requirementsfor those who import ornamentalplant propagating material. Thesupplier must:

– ensure prior to import that thematerial is of an equivalentstandard to that in the EC

– notify the PHSI in writing of theimportation of a consignment ofpropagating material from a thirdcountry within one month of itsimportation; this can be met bydelivering a phytosanitarycertificate or reforwardingphytosanitary certificate forthe consignment
