ISPM15 Pallets Southampton
09 Mar 2021
We offer ISPM15 pallets to our Southampton customers. When purchasing wooden pallets, it’s fundamental to know the guidelines. Since the 1st of January 2021, all wooden pallets and wood packaging moving between the UK and the EU are required to meet ISPM 15 international standards. This involves heat treatment and marking. The reason for this is as we have now left the EU, we are a third-party country. The rules state that those moving goods outside the EU using wooden packaging must be heat treated and stamped. This will help ease pest contamination and potential risk from pests.
We provide heat treated pallets that reach the standards of ISPM15. You won’t have to worry about the regulations with our wide stock of ISPM15 wooden pallets. We make the process easy for you, so you can easily meet your transportation needs with our pallets.
Due to the requirement, there is now much more demand for heat treated wooden pallets. We supply a wide range of heat-treated pallets in a variety of sizes here at Associated Pallets. We are working incredibly hard to ensure we have sufficient stock of wooden pallets in time for the new regulations next year.
The Government’s guidelines:
“All WPM moving between the UK and the EU must meet ISPM15 international standards by undergoing heat treatment and marking if there’s a no-deal Brexit. All WPM may be subject to official checks either upon or after entry to the EU. Checks on WPM will continue to be carried out in the UK on a risk-targeted basis only. The plant health risk from WPM imported from the EU is not expected to change as a result of Brexit.”

Heat treatment is actually considered the best treatment type for ISPM15 pallets. While other treatments such as fumigation can cause further issues such as chemical traces, we ensure are treated to meet the high standards.
