ISPM 15 Compliance

International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 regulates wood packaging materials used in international trade.

What is ISPM 15?

ISPM 15 is an international phytosanitary standard developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) to prevent the spread of harmful pests through wood packaging materials.

The standard requires that all wood packaging materials used in international trade must be:

  • Heat treated to kill pests and pathogens
  • Properly marked with IPPC logo and treatment code
  • Manufactured from debarked wood
  • Free from bark, insects, and contaminants

IPPC Treatment Methods
