Pallet grades explained
Grade A, B and C describe the state of the boards and blocks, with photos. No UK-wide grading standard exists, so grades vary by supplier.
ISPM 15 explained
Solid wood pallets are heat treated to 56°C at the core for at least 30 continuous minutes, or fumigated, then stamped.
CHEP pallets (blue pallets)
A CHEP pallet is a blue pool pallet that stays the property of CHEP, so it is returned to CHEP and never bought or sold.
