Trading policies of food and agricultural products are governed by international agreement as well as national regulations.Trade in food and agricultural commodities may be affected by both principal Agreements within the overall World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, though neither specifically refers to irradiation or irradiated foods. The principal Agreements of WTO are the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement and the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement. The SPS of the WTO requires governments to harmonize their sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as possible. Related standards, guidelines and recommendations of international standard setting bodies such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission (food safety); the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) (plant health and quarantine); and International Office of Epizootics (animal health and zoonoses) should be used in such a harmonization.International Standarts for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) no. 18 was published under the IPPC by FAO (April 2003, Rome-Italy). ISPM standard provides technical guidance on the specific prodecure for the application of ionizing radiation as a phytosanitary treatment for regulated pests or articles.Moreover, Codex Alimentarius Commission ,Codex General Standard for Irradiated Foods (Stand 106-1983) and Reccomended International Code of Practice were first published in 1983 and revised in March 2003. Scope of this standard applies to foods processed by ionizing radiation that is used in conjunction with applicable hygienic codes, food standards and transportation codes. It does not apply to foods exposed to doses imparted by measuring instruments used for inspection purposes.On the other hand national regulations should take account of internationally agreed Codes and Guidelines regarding the irradiation facilities and radiation processing.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInternational standardsUluslararası standartlarInternational agreementsUluslararası anlaşmalarFood irradiationGıda ışınlamasıconferenceObject306311
