Notice to industry : Publishing of the 11th edition of PI-07
The CFIA is proud to announce the approval of new heat treatment methods for wood. The CFIA, in collaboration with its partners, including industry, has approved two new treatment options that use core probes to ensure that wood reaches a temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes, in accordance with the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM 15).
These new, scientifically-backed options will enable forestry companies and those producing wood packaging materials to be more competitive, achieve better yields when heat treating, and consequently, save time and energy.
Interested companies should contact their alternative service delivery organisation for details on how to implement these new options.
