Heat Treated Pallets
ILC Dover Supply Chain
Main Discussion Points:
1
1. Effective June 10, 2013 all pallets used for the storage and transport of Pharm
raw material and components must be housed on a clean heat treated pallet
that are stamped ISPM 15 - HT
2. All Pharm out-bound shipments will continue to be housed on heat treated
pallets as they currently are today
3. Pharm raw materials and components will have a dedicated storage area in
building 2 & 3
4. Heat Treated Pallets used for the storage of Pharm raw material and
components cannot be placed next to or against non-heat treated pallets
5. Heat treated pallets must be clean
6. All shipments destined for a country other than the USA must be housed on
heat treated pallet.

Why and What is this all about?
Why are these new processes being put into place?
Many of ILC customers require a very strict standard of cleanliness due to
the nature of the critical work they perform. In order for us to gain their
trust and business we must comply with these requests.
What are ISPM 15 hear treated pallets and how do they function compared to a
regular pallet?
ISPM – International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures # 15 is a
measure developed by the IPPC – International Plant Protection Convention
– that directly addresses the need to treat wood material of a thickness
greater than 6mm used to ship material and product between countries. Its
main purpose is to prevent the international transport and spread of
disease and insects that could negatively infect plants, trees or the
ecosystems.
ISPM Heat Treated pallets are heated until its core temperature reaches
133 degrees for at least 30 minutes. This procedure can only be conducted
by a certified company.
After the wood is effectively heated a special seal call a “wheat stamp” is
placed on the pallet.

Continued
There is a secondary method to treat pallets to prevent the spread of
insects and disease. This secondary method is through a fumigation
process. In this process the pallet is saturated with a chemical called
“Methyl Bromide”. After fumigation, a similar “wheat seal” is placed on the
pallet – however this seal is slightly different.
IMPORTANT: Methyl Bromide treated pallets are never to be used in the ILC
supply chain. They may omit an odor to can potentially contaminate our
products.
ILC Dover will only allow the use of “Heat Treated Pallets in its
Supply Chain

New Pharm Storage Footprint
1. Pharm Material that is being stored in advance of production must be
contained in its own standalone delineated footprint
2. All Pharm materials must be housed on a clean heat treated pallet
3. Pharm material may not be comingled with non-pharm materials
4. Pharm material on heat treated pallets may not be stored next two a heat
treated pallet

Footprint / Delineation Transition Plan
6
How will we transition to this new footprint?
1. Labor assignment – when capacity is available
2. In-bound natural migration
Critical Factors:
1. Accurate move transactions sin Pro 3 – verify contents and count before
move
2. Transfer non – needed / non-pharm to Seaford
3. Adherence to transition plan and sustainability thereafter
What is the time frame to accomplish this transition?
Our goal is within the next 45 days
Additional success factors:
1. Emendation that Pharm suppliers use clean heat treated pallets
2. Augment RI process to validate clean heat treated pallets are being used by
Project 3400 suppliers during the incoming inspection process for the
material being purchased
7.
Clean Heat Treated Pallets
ONLY! – in the ILC Pharm Supply Chain
Acceptable versus Non Acceptable Heated Treated Pallets that
may be used in the ILC Supply Chain
Our intent is to capture N/C pallets during the RI inspection process.
However, we still need you help during the transition plan as well as an
overall safety net!
Acceptable
Validation of HSTM 15 – HT seal
Unacceptable
Major decay
Dirt or grime on pallet surface
Indication of bird dropping or spider webs
Conspicuous stains
Protruding nails or cleats
Broken or splintered boards
Sign of animal nesting
Mold
No HSTM 15 – HT - Seal
