An example of an ISPM-15 Mark:
The ISPM-15 mark is split up into four sections. The left hand section takes up a ¼ of the whole mark and is a part where the IPPC's logo is contained. The rest of the mark is split up into 3 horizontal sections. The top section is reserved for the unique UKWPMMP registration number. The middle section is allowing the importer / exporter to know what has been done with the wood. For example DB-HT would mean De-Barked Heat Treated where as MB would mean Methyl Bromide. The final section is for the Forestry Commission's logo.
