Guide to regulation of wood packaging material by IPPC Secretariat Book PDF Summary
This guide provides comprehensive, yet easy to understand, information to improve the understanding of International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No. 15 (Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade). It provides practical guidance to help national plant protection organizations apply the phytosanitary measures that are currently approved in ISPM 15 and describes the procedures required to produce compliant wood packaging material. The guide is also expected to be relevant to ISPM 15 treatment providers, wood packaging material manufacturers, repairers and remanufacturers, and other stakeholders, to help them to improve compliance with ISPM 15 and reduce the incidence of quarantine pests. The guide provides information on approved treatment options for wood packaging material, applying the ISPM 15 mark, manufacturing, repairing and reusing wood packaging material, import-inspection procedures, and phytosanitary actions in response to ISPM 15 non-compliance. It also includes several case studies that highlight the diverse ways that countries have approached some of the challenges associated with implementing ISPM 15.
