Packing Regulations
As a result of growing concerns about the spread of pests such as the Asian long-horn beetle and the pine wood nematode, new rules have been introduced to set a uniform standard applicable in different regions of the world. The standard states that all timber must be heat treated to a core temperature of 56° for no less than 30 minutes. AJ Williams in association with Timcon (Timber Packagaing & Pallett Confederation) has the facilities to produce compliant pallets for export and the heat treatment process. This can be applied either to the timber (prior to pallet manufacture) or to used or recycled pallets.
Please check the following link to see if your region requires the heat treatment process:-
