What it covers
The published specifications of EPAL load carriers, EPAL's quality classification for used pallets, the ISPM 15 rules for wood packaging and the US and Canadian rules built on them. On top of that we compute load counts for common containers and trailers with our own code, and publish the method.
Who receives form requests
The forms on this site send requests to one North American used-packaging marketplace partner, who answers them directly. The partner has no say over the reference content, and nothing on the reference pages is advertising.
What it does not do
- It does not certify, grade or inspect pallets. The identifier gives an indication for sorting, not a certificate.
- It does not give legal or compliance advice. Rules change; each rule sheet links to the official text.
- It does not publish prices, because we have no reliable price data to show.
- It does not reproduce the EPAL logo or oval mark. See the trademark notice.
Accuracy
Every factual sheet lists its sources and the date we last reviewed it. If you find an error, the fastest fix is to compare the sheet with its linked source. Where we could not verify a figure, we left it out rather than estimate it, and say so on the page.
Earlier versions
An earlier site under a similar name made claims we could not verify, including contact numbers, testimonials and statistics. None of that material is used here.
