Heat Treatment

Provides heat treatment and is ISPM 15 certified.  According to regulations, HT is a mandatory requirement when exporting to countries whose standards meet ISPM 15.

ISPM 15 is a worldwide standard of regulations to guarantee that living organisms are cannot spread through wood packaging material. ISPM 15 describes how wood packaging material is to be treated so that any potentially harmful organisms are exterminated. Wood that is used in the manufacturing of wooden load carriers, wood packaging materials and dunnage must be treated and marked for international transport outside the EU. This worldwide standard came into force in March 2002 and is now mandatory for exporting to a large number of countries. See the list of countries.

We can treat the material for you through Heat Treatment (HT). We do this in our in-house HT rooms. The treatment involves heating the wood packaging material to 56°C (in the core of the wood) for 30 minutes.
