ISPM 15 specifies that the NPPO of the exporting country is responsible for ensuring procedures and systems are in place prior to export to verify that the requirements set out in the standard have been met. The Australian Wood Packaging Certification Scheme (AWPCS) is a certification scheme developed by the Department of Agriculture to enable Australian treatment providers and/or wood packaging manufacturers to produce wood packaging material that meets the requirements of ISPM 15. Under this scheme, certified wood packaging manufacturers and/or treatment providers who meet the requirements of ISPM 15 are authorised by the Department of Agriculture to apply an internationally recognised mark to wood packaging material. All applications by wood packaging manufacturers or treatment providers to use the ISPM 15 certification mark under the AWPCS have to be made to an accredited certification body. Certification bodies assess the suitability of manufacturers and treatment providers to apply the ISPM 15 mark.
