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). For more information, see the American Lumber Standard
Committee Incorporated web page at www.alsc.org. |
