A substantial portion of the RBS manual Part II is devoted to statistical elements that go well beyond what is covered in the RBS manual Part I or in the international standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPMs) that provide inspection guidance. This information will be particularly useful to those who are fluent in statistics. NPPOs are encouraged to take advantage of the resources provided in Part II but to also seek and build statistical capacity as needed to address their unique, individual RBS implementation challenges.
