PPM version 5

Plant Propagation Material (PPM) standard is not a separate standard any more since the launch of IFA v 5. PPM has become a subscope of IFA v 5. All F&V products have now a PPM duplicate product: e.g. potatoes and potatoes (PPM). All the PPM products have also separate products IDs which can be found as usually in the product upload sheet on our website [1]

You can add PPM products for a certain producer as usually under Manage products by choosing the products from a drop-down menu under a subscope Plant propagation material.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

All the other steps, needed for the certification, are the same as for IFA v 5 (please see the chapters accept products and certification and sanctions).

Please note that if you certify a producer for the 1st time against PPM v 5 and he has no IFA certificate, he will get a new cycle, not linked to a previous PPM v 2 cycle. If there exists already an IFA certificate, a PPM certificate which is entered later (than IFA) will get the validity as of an IFA certificate (the same rule as fo scope extension).
