Confirm your customer’s pallet, hygiene and handling requirements. Final availability, specification, price and delivery are agreed in the written quotation.

Quick answer: A heat-treated pallet has been heated until the core of the wood reaches at least 56 °C for 30 minutes, which kills insects and larvae. It then carries the ISPM 15 mark: the IPPC symbol, the country code (BE), the producer's registration number and HT. This mark is required for wooden pallets shipped outside the EU.
What is ISPM 15?
ISPM 15 is the international standard for wood packaging material, published under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). It aims to stop pests such as wood-boring beetles from travelling with packaging. Most countries outside the EU apply it at their borders.
The standard accepts a small number of treatments. In the EU, heat treatment (HT) is the main method. Fumigation with methyl bromide (MB) has been banned in the EU since 2010.
When do you need heat-treated pallets?
- Exports outside the EU: to the UK, the United States, China, Africa, the Middle East and most other destinations.
- Shipments within the EU: generally exempt, except for specific plant-health protected zones.
- Customer requirements: some food, pharma and export customers ask for HT pallets even for domestic flows.
Rules can change by destination. Check the current import requirements of the destination country before shipping.
The ISPM 15 mark explained
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| IPPC symbol | The wheat-ear logo of the International Plant Protection Convention |
| BE | Country code of the country where the pallet was treated (Belgium) |
| Producer code | Registration number of the treating company, issued by the national plant protection authority |
| HT | Treatment type: heat treatment |
| DB (optional) | Debarked. All ISPM 15 wood must be debarked, so many countries no longer print it |
