ISPM15 Timber
ISPM15 is short for the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No.15 (ISPM15).
They are a set of measures and regulations designed to help prevent the spread of pests and diseases through wooden packaging materials used during the worldwide transportation of goods and freight.
ISPM15 defines a set of standards that must be met when timber or wooden packing products such as export packing cases, shipping crates, plywood cases, OSB cases, bespoke pallets and dunnage are shipping internationally and worldwide.
The ISMP15 regulations require that all wooden packaging material unless stated as being exempt from the regulations must undergo heat treatment for 30 minutes at 56 degrees Celsius to the core of the product or be fumigated with Methyl Bromide. After the treatment process the quality treatment and company registration mark can and must be indelibly stenciled onto the product.
