Compliance specification

Heat-treatment chamber maintained at 56C core for 30 minutes per ISPM-15 Annex 1; each load shipped with a treatment certificate signed by a USDA-registered inspector.

California regulatory context

California wildfire compliance under SB 1241 requires fire-resistant materials within 30-foot defensible-space zones; our heat-treated solid hardwood meets Class A fire rating for staging areas outside structures.

California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 17855 requires wood pallet recyclers to maintain CalRecycle facility permits; our partner network includes permitted facilities in Fontana, Stockton, and Fresno for return-stream service.
