Specific scope The aim of this Standard is to provide guidance on the inspection of consignments of imported wood chips, hogwood and bark for quarantine pests and monitoring of sites where these materials are imported. The Standard covers these commodities for all tree species. The Standard does not cover the inspection of highly processed wood materials (e.g. wood pellets), wood packaging materials, shavings or sawdust. Firewood is also not covered by this Standard, and EPPO recommends that firewood should be regulated as round wood. Specific approval and amendment Approved as an EPPO Standard in 2019–09.
