ELE Forsa is certified in accordance with the requirements of SS EN ISO 9001 Heat treatment, marking of packaging timber as per ISPM 15.
More and more countries are demanding that wood packaging crossing national borders must be treated as per ISPM 15. This means that the timber must be heat-treated to 56 ºC at its core for at least 30 minutes. This treatment protects the timber from insect infestation.
The IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) has developed this standard, which many countries reference and are gradually incorporating into their national legislation.
ELE Forsa is licensed by the Swedish Board of Agriculture for marking as per ISPM 15.
ELE Forsa holds a licence from the Swedish Board of Agriculture (SJV) authorizing us to mark our pallets with this stamp:
Heat treatment, marking of packaging timber as per ISPM 15.
SE-X708 is ELE Forsa’s licence number.
HT (Heat Treatment) involves heating the core of the timber to at least 56 ºC without drying for at least 30 minutes.
KD (Kiln Drying) is HT-treated timber that has also been dried to an average moisture content of 20 % or less.
DB (Debarking) is timber with the bark removed.
Please note that under the ISPM 15 standard HT and DB are compulsory, while KD is voluntary.
