The Revision of ISPM No. 15 (2009) under Annex 1, [2] requires that wood used to manufacture ISPM 15 compliant Wood Packaging must be made from debarked wood [3] not to be confused with bark free wood. ISPM 15 was updated to adopt the bark restriction regulations proposed by the European Union in 2009.
Bromomethane has poor fungicidal properties. Bromomethane is the only fumigant allowed (heat treatment is the only other option) under ISPM 15 regulations when exporting solid wood packaging (fork lift pallets, crates, bracing) to ISPM
While the IPPC's primary focus is on plants and plant products moving in international trade, the convention also covers research materials, biological control organisms, germplasm banks, containment facilities, food aid, emergency aid and anything else that can act as a vector for the spread of plant pests – for example, containers, packaging materials, soil, vehicles, vessels and machinery.

Lack of harmonization of regulations across countries is also a factor that limits its use. [6] Although phytosanitary irradiation has seen an increase in use globally, lack of consumer acceptance in the European Union , Japan , South Korea , and Taiwan limits its use in countries for which these are major export markets.
The standards for these pallets are specified in ISPM 15. Pallets made of raw, untreated wood are not compliant with ISPM 15. To be compliant the pallets (or other wood packaging material) must meet debarked standards, [9] and must be treated by either of the following means under the supervision of an approved agency:
However, many countries including Australia, [13] New Zealand [14] and the USA, [15] have developed procedures to assess the pest risks associated with the import of plant commodities. Devorshak (2012) describes the principles of pest risk analysis, how analyses can be performed and the use of pest risk analysis in regulatory plant protection ...
Fumigation is a hazardous operation. Generally it is a legal requirement that the operator who carries out the fumigation operation holds official certification to perform the fumigation, as the chemicals used are toxic to most forms of life, including humans. [1] Post operation ventilation of the area is a critical safety aspect of fumigation.
