At Blackberry Pallet, we understand the critical role of ISPM 15 compliance in ensuring the safe and smooth movement of your goods across international borders. That's why we go beyond simply meeting the minimum requirements – we partner with industry leader Timber Products Inspection Inc. (TPI) to achieve and maintain rigorous ISPM 15 certification.
This blog delves deeper into the specific processes and measures we implement to guarantee consistent, verifiable ISPM 15 compliance for manufacturers’ peace of mind.
Optimizing Heat Flow for Comprehensive Treatment
Loading our Kiln-Direct direct gas heating pallet kiln utilizes a strategically designed staggered loading pattern. This meticulous approach maximizes airflow and ensures every pallet receives uniform heat distribution throughout the chamber.
Precise Temperature Monitoring with Wooddryer System
Blackberry Pallet leverages Kiln-Direct's advanced Wooddryer System to meticulously monitor and record temperatures throughout the entire heat treatment cycle. This sophisticated system:
Utilizes Double Temperature Sensor Probes to ensure redundancy.
Provides real-time data on core wood temperatures.
Automatically logs all data points at 5-minute intervals from start to completion.
Ensures each pallet maintains a minimum 140°F for 30 minutes exceeding the ISPM 15 mandated minimum of 56°C (132.8°F).
Complete hardcopy logs of all heat-treated pallets are maintained for a minimum of 2 years.
Unwavering Commitment: Monthly Audits and Annual Recertification
Blackberry Pallet's dedication to ISPM 15 compliance extends beyond the initial certification. We undergo rigorous monthly audits conducted by TPI inspectors. These random and unannounced audits meticulously evaluate our processes, documentation, and equipment to confirm our ongoing adherence to the ISPM 15 standard. Additionally, we maintain annual TPI certification, ensuring our commitment to providing you with the highest level of compliance, year after after year.
TPI Annual Certification means that Blackberry Pallet has:
Maintained complete and up-to-date Heat Treatment and chain of custody records.
Produce and market quality products, which conform to ALSC standards and regulations including HT standards and debarking requirements.
Applied the authorized TPI stamp mark only to products which have been proven through applicable monitoring.
