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.
