Wood packaging material

Germany has based the implementation of the  International Phytosanitary Standard No 15 [PDF] on Wood Packaging Material on wood packaging material on the relevant requirements laid down in the German Plant Inspection Order. The binding legal basis for EU Member States implementing the requirements for the introduction of wood packaging material is  Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants. In addition, a national guideline with detailed provisions for the implementation of the standard is applicable.

The list of the authorized wood packaging manufacturers and treatment companies in Germany can be found  here [PDF]. Further information about the registered companies is available through the relevant  contact at JKI.
