ISPM 15
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISPM 15 is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the IPPC that directly addresses the need to treat wood materials of a thickness greater than 4mm, 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, plastic or compressed wood chips.
