Australian Wood Packaging Certification Scheme for Export ISPM15

The Australian Wood Packaging Certification Scheme (AWPCS) is a certification scheme that has been developed by AQIS to ensure that Australian treatment providers (heat treatment and fumigation) and wood packaging manufacturers produce wood packaging material that meets the requirements of the ISPM 15.

Under this scheme treatment providers and wood packaging manufacturers that meet the ISPM 15 requirements will be authorised by AQIS to apply an internationally recognised mark to wood packaging material produced for use in the export trade.

Participation in the scheme is not mandatory. The AWPCS is one option that will be available to assist exporters in meeting an importing country’s conditions of entry.
