ISPM-15 Requirements |
|
|
| |
|
Compliance with ISPM-15 for wood packaging
materials allows for two treatment options: |
|
|
| |
|
· Heat Treatment (HT): Wood packaging material should be heated
in a schedule that achieves a minimum core temperature of 56° C for
a minimum of 30 minutes. The American Lumber Standards Committee administers
the U.S. Certification program for heat treatment.
|
|
|
| |
|
· Methyl Bromide (MB): Wood packaging material should be fumigated
with methyl bromide. NSPCA has been tasked by the U.S. Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service to administer the fumigation program.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Note: ISPM-15 requirements apply
to all species of coniferous (softwood) and non-coniferous (hardwood) packaging
materials. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
The minimum temperature should not be
less than 10°C and the minimum exposure time should be 24 hours. Monitoring
of concentrations should be carried out at a minimum at 2, 4, and 24 hours. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
When a fumigation treatment schedule
is revised and adopted, as with China and Canada, wood packaging material
(WPM) already treated and marked under the previous schedule does not need
to be retreated, remarked or recertified. It only applies to WPM that will
be treated after adoption of the new schedule. |

Notice to Department
of Defense (DoD) Vendors |
|
|
| |
|
The Department of Defense has announced
that its shipments both "inside and outside of the United States must meet
ISPM-15." These requirements will be reflected in Defense Logistic Agency
solicitations issued as of August 1, 2006. DoD pallets must be heat treated
or kiln dried (DoD does not accept fumigation as a treatment method).
