HT Phytosanitary Treatment
No risk of infestation
What is it?
The FAO IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) has developed the ISPM-15 standard, which has been adopted in more than 170 countries around the world, for the elimination of any harmful organisms, which may also be spread by wooden pallets/packaging used in trade between countries around the world, and to protect the world’s forest heritage.
Standard ISPM-15, which is based on the phytosanitary measure identified by the IPPC, requires raw wood packaging to be treated (heat treatment-HT) before shipment is made.
Following the treatment or production of packaging with already treated timber, the IPPC/FAO-FITOK mark must be affixed.
The IPPC/FAO-FITOK Mark.
