由 lltx1822 Australian Regulations on Wooden Frames: Protecting the Continent’s Ecosystem
Australia has some of the strictest regulations regarding wooden frames in the world, mainly due to its unique and vulnerable ecosystem. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is responsible for enforcing these regulations.
For 原木架 (raw wood frames), any wood packaging material or frames used in international trade must be treated to prevent the introduction of pests. Heat treatment to a minimum core temperature of 56 °C for at least 30 minutes is a common requirement. Fumigation with approved chemicals can also be used. All treated wood frames must be marked with the IPPC logo, which indicates compliance with international phytosanitary standards.
In the case of 三合木架 (plywood frames), while plywood is a composite material and less likely to carry pests compared to raw wood, it still needs to meet certain import requirements. If the plywood is sourced from a high – risk area in terms of pest presence, it may be subject to additional inspection. Australia also has regulations regarding the origin of the wood used in plywood production. For example, wood from certain regions known for specific pests may be restricted from being used in plywood that is imported into Australia.
When it comes to 熏蒸木架 (fumigated wood frames), the fumigation process must be carried out in accordance with Australian standards. Approved fumigants and proper treatment durations are strictly monitored. Additionally, detailed documentation about the fumigation process, including the type of fumigant, the date of treatment, and the location of treatment, must accompany the fumigated frames. This is to ensure that the frames do not pose a risk to Australia’s native flora and fauna.
