All new export wooden pallets made by Johnco Pallets are in accordance with the ISPM 15 requirements. We are approved by the Govt of India Ministry of Agriculture to carry out treatments as per ISPM-15 Standards.

International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) is an International Phytosanitary Measure developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) that directly addresses the need to treat wood materials used to ship products between countries. Its main purpose is to prevent the international transport and spread of pests that could negatively affect plants or ecosystems. ISPM 15 affects all wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnages, etc.) requiring that they be debarked and then heat treated or fumigated with methyl bromide and then stamped with a mark of compliance.
