2. SPS
The term SPS refers to Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures and is particularly
important in international trade.
No country is completely self-sufficient in the production of food (animal and plant-
based), fiber and other products.
In order to meet the needs of their citizens, countries usually import agricultural and
horticultural products.
SPS measures applied to plants are designed to insure the safety of food and to prevent
the spread of plant pests and diseases.

• (i) requiring products to come from areas free of certain pests and
diseases;
• (ii) product inspections;
• (iii) treatment or processing of products to eliminate pests or pathogens;
• (iv) maximum allowable pesticide residue requirements; and
• (v) limited allowances for use of certain food additives

4. SPS (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures )
• Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures are measures to protect
humans, animals, and plants from diseases, pests, or contaminants.
• Examples of SPS are tolerance limits for residues, restricted use of
substances, labelling requirements related to food safety, hygienic
requirements and quarantine requirements.
• The Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures
(the "SPS Agreement") entered into force with the establishment of the
World Trade Organization on 1 January 1995. It concerns the application
of food safety and animal and plant health regulations.

5. • It applies to all sanitary (relating to animals) and phytosanitary (relating to
plants) (SPS) measures that may have a direct or indirect impact on
international trade. The SPS agreement includes a series of
understandings (trade disciplines) on how SPS measures will be
established and used by countries when they establish, revise, or apply
their domestic laws and regulations. Countries agree to base their SPS
standards on science, and as guidance for their actions, the agreement
encourages countries to use standards set by international standard
setting organizations.
