DocumentNormative documentISPM 39. International movement of wood
Adopted 2017
2017This standard provides guidance for the assessment of the pest risk of wood and describes phytosanitary measures that may be used to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pests associated with the international movement of wood, in particular those that infest trees. This standard covers only raw wood commodities and material resulting from the mechanical processing of wood: (1) round wood and sawn wood (with or without bark); and (2) materials resulting from the mechanical processing of wood such as wood chips, sawdust, wood wool and wood residue (all with or without bark). This standard covers wood of gymnosperms and angiosperms (i.e. dicotyledons and some monocotyledons, such as palms), but not bamboo and rattan. Wood packaging material is covered within the scope of ISPM 15 (Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade) and therefore is not covered in this standard. Products manufactured from wood (such as furniture), processed wood material (e.g. pressure treated, glued or heated wood) and wooden handicrafts are not covered in this standard. Wood may also carry contaminating pests; however, they are not covered in this standard. -
