How we use the name

We use "EPAL" only to describe pallets and the rules that apply to them, for example "EPAL 1 Euro pallet" or "EPAL's quality classification". We do this because there is no other accurate way to tell a reader which pallet a figure refers to.

What we do not do

  • We do not reproduce the EPAL logo or the EPAL in oval mark. Where a drawing needs to show where the mark sits on a pallet, it shows a placeholder labelled "[EPAL mark]".
  • We do not claim to be EPAL, to be licensed by EPAL, or to produce, repair, inspect or certify EPAL pallets.
  • We do not sell anything as EPAL-approved. The partner who receives requests from our forms is independent of EPAL too.

Licensed producers and repairers

EPAL's licensing stipulations say an applicant may not use the EPAL in oval mark before a licence is granted, and only licensees may produce or repair EPAL pallets. For a licensed supplier, use the licensee search on EPAL's own website.

Other names

Other names of organisations and products on this site belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.
