Detailed Answer

ISPM-15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) is published by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and administered globally through the FAO. The standard requires wood packaging in international trade to be treated to kill pests. Treatment options: heat treatment (HT) raising core temperature to 56C for 30+ minutes; methyl bromide (MB) fumigation, increasingly restricted environmentally. Compliant pallets bear the IPPC stamp showing the IPPC graphic, country code (e.g., US), accredited facility number, and treatment code. In the US, USDA-APHIS oversees the program with delegation to ALSC-accredited agencies (PLIB, SPIB, WTPCA). Required by 180+ WTO/IPPC member countries.
