ISPM 15

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An example of a stamp used on pallets to indicate ISPM 15 compliance

ISPM 15 is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the IPPC that directly addresses the need to sanitize certain material used to ship products between countries. It affects items like shipping pallets and requires that pallets either be chemically fumigated, heat treated or made from alternative material, like paper pallets.
