When wooden packaging is used in the international transport of goods, it must be subjected to special heat treatment or fumigation to prevent the global spread of timber pests. The provisions governing these treatments are specified in Guideline No. 15 of the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures: Guidelines for the Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade. This guidance is commonly referred to as ISPM 15, or the more familiar term "IPPC". ISPM 15 was developed by the Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) as part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations global plant quarantine policy and technical assistance program.

In Ukraine, the ISPM15 standard is implemented by the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection and the State Forest Resources Agency of Ukraine. These organizations are responsible for ensuring economically, environmentally and socially sustainable forest management through the implementation of appropriate recognized and credible standards, registration of manufacturers of pallets and other wooden packaging, labeling systems and compliance with standards.

Wooden containers conforming to the ISPM15 standard can be identified by the presence of an officially approved mark that confirms the processing and includes the manufacturer's registration number. Our ISPM 15 Certification compliant packaging can be identified by the presence of officially approved markings that confirm processing and include the manufacturer's registration number.
