FITOKphytosanitary treatment

The globalization ofmarkets in recent years has led to the intensification of tradebetween countries.Wood packagingmaterial has sometimes been a channel for the introduction and spreadof harmful organisms. It was therefore necessary to reduce the riskof possible infestations by introducing certain phytosanitarymeasures to avoid possible economic and environmental impacts on theworld’s forest heritage.Possiblephytosanitary measures include:

• Import ban (itguarantees maximum phytosanitary safety, but would lead to thestoppage of world trade), introduction of special phytosanitaryrequirements (pest free area), phytosanitary certificate requirement(document issued by NPPO);
• Inspection atentry (with considerable use of resources for inspections),treatment before shipment.

Treatment beforeshipment is the phytosanitary measure identified by the IPPC and isthe basis for the international Standard ISPM-15. In short, thisStandard stipulates that raw wood packaging must be treated (heattreatment - HT or fumigation treatment with methyl bromide - MB) andsubsequently certified under the IPPC/FAO mark. This mark is to becontrolled through a certification system for businesses in the woodpackaging and treatment chain..
