Heat treatment – The wood is heat treated to 56°C core temperature for at least 30 minutes.
This process must be carried out by companies licensed under the UK Wood Packing Material Marking Programme. Approved companies are issued with a license and re-assesed every six months. In both cases the timber must be debarked prior to treatment.
Complying products produced by licensed manufacturers are stamped with a permanent mark to prove conformity.
