New IPPC Guide to regulation of wood packaging material


The IPPC Secretariat has recently published a new ‘Guide to regulation of wood packaging material - Understanding the phytosanitary requirements for the movement of wood packaging material in international trade’. This document provides practical guidance to the NPPOs on how to apply the phytosanitary measures currently approved in ISPM 15 (Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade), and it describes the procedures required to produce compliant wood packaging material. Concrete examples and illustrations are also included.
