MACOGA approved to apply ISPM15 mark for packing
Due
to the risks of introducing and spreading tree pests, strict controls
on wood packaging, both for imports and exports, are enforced. If you
don’t conform to these requirements, your entire consignment could be
rejected or even destroyed.
MACOGA, is now authorized to apply ISPM15 mark as a manufacturer of wood packaging.
All the wood used in our packing is Heat Treated until its core reaches 56 °C for at least 30 minutes to meet the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM15).
The timber is frequently used for wood packaging material which can be a way for the introduction and spread of harmful organisms. Since wood packaging is often re-used or recycled, it is difficult to determine the true origin of any part of the package, so in 2002 the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) adopted the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures ISPM No. 15, revised in 2009, concerning the regulation of wood packaging material in international trade.
