What is a CP1 pallet?
A CP1 pallet is the first of the nine chemical pallet types, CP1 to CP9, made for bagged goods and boxes on the 1200 x 1000 mm footprint, with its size, height and board layout fixed by the type.
Two other pallets share that footprint. The UK standard pallet has no single published specification, so its height and build vary from yard to yard; see our UK standard pallets. The CP6 stands 156 mm high on a perimeter base with 20 boards. A CP1 is lower, has fewer boards and sits on three bottom boards.
New and used CP1 pallets
We sell CP1 pallets new, built to the CP1 dimensions, or used, checked for type and condition before they are supplied.
- New
- Built to the CP1 dimensions; the quote states whether the pallets supplied carry the EPAL mark
- Used
- Checked for type and condition before supply; the quote names the condition
- Regular orders
- Held to the type and condition you set
EPAL-marked CP1 pallets come only from EPAL's licensed manufacturers and repairers, so ask for the EPAL mark on your quote if your customer or site requires it. We do not grade used CP pallets A, B or C, so we describe the condition of the actual pallets instead.
CP1 pallet markings and export
An EPAL CP1 pallet carries three marks, "EPAL in oval" on the right-hand corner block, the IPPC mark with HT on the left-hand corner block, and "CP1" with the EPAL ID number on the centre block. A CP1 pallet goes for export only with a legible ISPM 15 mark.
- Right-hand corner block
- "EPAL in oval"
- Left-hand corner block
- The IPPC mark with the country code, the plant protection authority's registration number and HT for heat treatment
- Centre block
- "CP1" and the EPAL ID number with the licence number, year and month
A "CP1" stamp alone says nothing about treatment. A CP1 pallet goes for export, or from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, only when it carries a legible ISPM 15 mark, and we supply heat treated, ISPM 15 marked CP1 pallets on request. The mark replaces a phytosanitary certificate, and a certificate cannot replace the mark, according to GOV.UK. Export rules for every size sit under heat treated pallets. Send a photo of the centre block with your quote request and we match the type.

CP1 pallet FAQs
What size is a CP1 pallet?
A CP1 pallet measures 1200 x 1000 mm and stands 138 mm high, the UK standard footprint. EPAL's datasheet writes it as 1,000 x 1,200 mm, with ±3 mm allowed on length and width.
How much does a CP1 pallet weigh?
EPAL publishes no weight for the CP1 pallet and no safe working load. Some sellers print their own figures; we do not. Tell us the load on your quote and we confirm the pallet for it.
Is a CP1 pallet the same as a UK standard pallet?
No. Both use the 1200 x 1000 mm footprint, but only the CP1 has a fixed design, 138 mm high with 15 boards, 9 blocks and 81 nails. A UK standard pallet has no single published specification.
What is the difference between a CP1 and a CP6 pallet?
The CP6 is taller and stands on a perimeter base, at 156 mm high with 20 boards, against the CP1's 138 mm and 15 boards on three bottom boards. Both are 1200 x 1000 mm.
