The mission of NPDN is to support plant health and biosecurity in U.S. agricultural and natural ecosystems by providing expert diagnostic capacity, communication, coordination, and quality pest and disease diagnostic information
NPDN created the Core Standard, a document that provides an overarching framework for all NPDN labs. Each lab's development of a quality management system that meets the requirements of the Core Standard demonstrates our commitment to excellence in plant diagnostics. Core Accreditation ensures NPDN labs will meet quality standards and
enhance professionalism, strengthening our state of readiness in performing timely and accurate detections while reducing the risk of exotic pathogens and pest establishments.
