BS EN 16636:2015EN 16636:2015 (E) 4 Introduction In 2008, the World Health Organisation reported that the last sixty years had brought significant changes in ecology,
20、climate and human behaviour that favoured the development of urban pests (see Bibliography 7). The presence of such arthropods, rodents, other vertebrates and micro-organisms in proximity to humans represents a significant hazard for public health. This arises from the possibility that pests can act
21、 as physical and mechanical vectors for the introduction and spread of pathogens, diseases and possible allergens into human and animal populations. These organisms can also cause direct and indirect damage to building structures and their contents which can result in significant economic losses for
22、 commercial businesses, and households. In addition, they potentially can cause deterioration in the quality of life, including a psychological impact. Arising from a need to address these concerns, the activities of disinfestation and the control of insects, rodents, other vertebrates and any conse
23、quential disinfection of micro-organisms have been developed as a service and are referred to collectively as the Pest Management industry. The provision of pest control services is the subject of a number of EU Directives and Regulations, as well as national regulation. NOTE 1 These can be accessed
24、 on the Eurlex website (see 9). NOTE 2 The food industry uses professional pest control services and the providers of the services need to consider the EU Regulations that apply and the types of control systems used in the food sector. As these directives and regulations are being enacted, it is bec
25、oming clear that there is a need to unify and further professionalize the European Pest Management industry. This does not only support the European Commissions goal to open up cross border trading but also serves to protect and reassure purchasers of pest management services that suppliers operate
26、to clear professional standards and thereby act safely, effectively and within appropriate European and national regulations. Within this context it has been suggested that there is a necessity to develop a single common essential standard throughout Europe, the objective of which is to display to t
27、he clients that service providers following this standard, offer a quality which is recognized as being truly professional within all Europe; will ensure that its operators are competent to sell and deliver the service they are offering by meeting specified and validated minimum standards of knowled
28、ge, skill and practical competence; will offer the best available advice on how to prevent pest problems in the clients environment; will offer effective and efficient service dealing with the root cause of the problem identified; will provide a quality service recognized in Europe and will deliver
29、safe services which minimize the risk for clients and the general public, whilst minimizing possible negative impacts on the environment and animal welfare. The goal of every pest management activity is the effective and economical reduction or elimination of damage caused by pests. The successful a
30、chievement of this goal is dependent on a partnership approach between the service provider and the client. To achieve this goal, the professional service provider conforms to the principles established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in respect of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which can
31、include a combination of habitat modification, biological control, physical control and chemical control. Annex D includes an Environmental Checklist. BS EN 16636:2015EN 16636:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for pest management services and competences to be met
