ISPM15 Heat Treatment

ISPM 15 stands for International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15.

​

This is the regulation that requires heat treatment on wooden pallets for pest control. It prevents the transfer of pesticides and infestation during the exportation process. It applies to transport between the EU and the rest of the world. ISPM 15 regulations apply to all pallet wood, wooden collars and boxes. There are also other advantages to using wooden pallets that have been heat treated including enhanced sterilisation, durability and weather resistance.
