  1. Annex 1 to ISPM 15:2009 Approved treatments associated with wood packaging material IPPC Member Consultation 20 June to 30 September 2011

  2. Background • Call for Topics: • Added to the List of Topics for IPPC Standards: [CPM 1, 2006] • Specification [31]: [November 2004 approved] • Drafted by [TPFQ]: [September 2010] • SC reviewed: [April 2011] • SC approved for Member Consultation: May 2011

  3. General Considerations World-wide experiences in auditing heat treatment chambers showed that more harmonization and explanation is necessary. Therefore, paragraph 17 lists criteria for “good HT practice” Dielectric heating as 2nd heating source was proposed to be included in ISPM 15:2009 and ISPM 28:2007

  4. General Considerations To be consistent with HT and MB, guidance for the use of dielectric heating (DH) was added MB treatment schedule was slightly adjusted to reflect practical application and to meet concerns about the use of MB. In the event of not meeting the required CT, a slight increase of treatment time could avoid a completely new treatment

  5. Drafting Issues • The TPFQ realized that the types of HT-facilities world-wide differ significantly. The current listing gives advice on the minimum factors to be addressed during approving and auditing heat treatment providers • It was believed that failure of HT treatments and therefore non-compliance with ISPM 15:2009 was based on incorrect application of the heat or control devices, such as temperature sensors

  6. Drafting Issues Aim of all three lists is to give both the treatment provider, as well as the auditor, better confidence that the treatment was applied efficiently

  7. Other relevant information The revision of the ISPM 15 explanatory document, prepared by Shane Sela (Canada) is under development. A more detailed section on how to carry out heat treatment using conventional steam or dry heat chambers will either be included in the explanatory document or prepared as a stand alone document
