Draft Regional Standard for PISC 2001:2025

Overview

Provide feedback on a proposed Pacific Regional standard currently under development by the Pacific Islands Standards Committee (PISC): PISC 2001:2025 Quick Frozen Cassava. 

The objective of this standard is to specify requirements for quick frozen cassava for direct consumption, and for the marking and labelling of these products.

This document is a modified adoption of the Vanuatu Standard for Quick Frozen Cassava.

The changes to this document are as follows:

1.  Amended document to conform to established practice set out in ISO/IEC Directives Part 2.

2. Added references in the document to Codex Alimentarius.

3. Added information on the freezing process

4.  Added information on the handling process.

5. Added information on the marking and labelling process.

The public comment period is a key step in the regional standardisation process. It ensures that draft standards reflect the priorities, practices, and capacities of our national stakeholders across government, industry, and civil society. Your input will help ensure the standard is relevant, practical, and supports trade, food safety, and economic development in our region.

Why Your Feedback Matters:

As part of the national consultation process, your feedback will be collected and considered for submission to the PISC Technical Committee responsible for this standard. Comments received may result in revisions or clarifications before the standard is finalised. This is your opportunity to influence a regional standard that could guide production, processing, or trade in cassava across Pacific Island Countries.
