Wood packaging material

Germany has based the implementation of the International Phytosanitary Standard No 15 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.
