Heat Treated Pallets
<\/strong>ISPM 15 Compliant Pallets-Export Pallets – International Phytosanitary Measure known as ISPM 15. Compliance involves Heat Treating pallets to reduce the risk of introduction and\/or spread of quarantined pests.  International Regulation \u0096 ISPM 15 Due to international regulations, heat treatment is an increasing concern for companies shipping products using wood pallets. The international export standard, ISPM 15, requires that all wood packaging material be heat-treated at a core temperature of 135\u00ba degrees Fareinheight for a minimum of 35 minutes. This regulation eliminates the presence of pests found in wood thereby protecting crops and forests in other parts of the world. Certification is Necessary for Compliance \u2013 Atlas Pallet is inspected on a monthly basis by NELMA. Our IPPC certification allows us to stamp all heat-treated pallets in compliance with ISPM 15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
