New! Plant Pass Version 2.0
We've made certification clearer and more accessible for producers. Plant Pass Version 2.0 and the new sector auditor model ensure Plant Pass is practical, relevant and easier to apply in day-to-day operations.
Plant Pass Checklists
The Plant Pass Version 2.0 checklists cover hazards common across a wide range of nurseries and the measures to manage them. Key elements include training, hygiene, crop protection, monitoring and traceability.
Plant Pass is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) based - i.e. hazards are identified, control measures are implemented, and processes are monitored to support continuous improvement
