Heat Treatment
When exporting wooden pallets, heat treatment to the international ISPM15 standard is legally required to prevent the spread of wood boring insects across borders - a risk to forestry and woodland across the world.

The ISPM15 Standard for Phytosanitary Measures requires that pallets for export are treated to kill any wood born pests.

Treatment to this standard is required when exporting to most industrial countries including the EU, North America, Canada, Mexico, China, Korea, Australia and New Zealand.

The most widely used method used to comply with ISPM15 is heat treatment. This is achieved by maintaining the constant core temperature of pallets or wood packaging at 56 degrees for a minimum of 30 minutes.

The heat treatment facility can treat pallets, plus a whole range of timber products that require ISPM15 compliance – i.e. crates, wood packaging, boxes – just about anything made of timber.
