What is ISPM15
International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures - New international regulations relating to the control and spread of forest pests and timber diseases have recently been introduced. Many countries now require imported timber to satisfy the ISPM 15 Phytosanitary regulations which are recognized by the World Trade Organization.
What are the Phytosanitary Treatments
Heat treatment - The wood is heat treated to 56°C for at least 30 minutes
Fumigation - Using Methyl Bromide in accordance with the approved specification.
These processes must be carried out by companies licensed under the UK Wood Packing Material Marking Program. Approved companies are issued with a license and re-assessed every six months. In both cases the timber must be debarked prior to treatment.
Complying products produced by licensed manufacturers are stamped with a permanent mark to prove conformity.
The countries which require these measures include:
Brazil, Columbia, Canada, USA, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, India, Korea, Philippines, Switzerland, Taiwan, Chile, Nigeria and the EU (for non-EU products).
