Risk Analysis Overview
Risk Management
Risk management is a process of analyzing and recommending options for
mitigating pest and disease agents of concern identified through risk
assessment. The analysis of risk mitigation options may vary due to the
differing nature of animal, plant, and human health issues.
There are some situations where an appropriate standard does not exist.
In such situations, or if a country chooses not to use an existing standard,
the SPS Agreement requires regulatory authorities of the importing country
to base their requirements on a scientific analysis of the risks to animal,
plant or human health and to share their analyses with interested parties.
