		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.
