ISPM 15 process
Under ISPM 15, all non-manufactured wood packaging materials (WPM) for export – including: crating wood, wood pallets, wood skids, and loose wood dunnage - must be treated, either by heat or fumigation. Manufactured wood products such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and particle board do not need to be treated as any pests are destroyed during the manufacturing process.
Heat treating process heats the wood until its core temperature gets to 56 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes. This process is widely accepted as an effective means to destroy any pests that could be harmful to forests. Wood can also be fumigated, but heat treating is considered an environmentally preferable alternative.
