The ISPM 15 certificate — often referred to as “HT” (heat treatment) — provides manufacturers of wooden packaging with the following advantages:

  • Global export: Enables the legal shipment of goods to countries that require phytosanitary standards (e.g., the USA, China, the United Kingdom).
  • Market advantage: Allows cooperation with international logistics companies and large corporations that require IPPC compliance.
  • Pest elimination: Confirms that the wood has been heated to at least 56°C for 30 minutes, effectively neutralizing harmful pests.
