Amendments to the ICNCP are prompted by international symposia for cultivated plant taxonomy which allow for rulings made by the International Commission on the Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants. Each new version includes a summary of the changes made to the previous version; the changes have also been summarised for the period 1953 to 1995.

Its current version is specifically designed to regulate the naming of clades , leaving the governance of species names up to the rank-based nomenclature codes ( ICN , ICNCP , ICNP , ICZN , ICVCN ).
