EPAL Licence
The EPAL quality sign on Palettenwerk’s pallets guarantees full safety of use and the company’s customers may be sure that their goods will not be damaged in transport. Our packaging also meets all required construction and durability terms.
Prior to entering the market, each EPAL europallet lot undergoes strict quality control tests. Palettenwerk manufactures europallets using 2nd level control, which means that it does not have to have each lot of europallets checked by external control authorities. External audits run under EPAL license terms. They are random and inspection covers such things as: verification of the precise dimensions of pallets and their individual elements, visual assessment of the wood used, measuring the humidity of the wood and verification of the correct use of connecting materials and marking.
The EPAL Certificate guarantees that the customers will have
- A regular and recurrent nailing scheme to ensure the durability and stability of the construction
- A plank thickness of no less than 22 mm to guarantee pallet loading of up to 2000 kg
- Sharp edges to the planks are the effect of careful preparation of raw materials for the production of pallets
- Humidity below 22% guarantees long usage of the pallet
- Evenly seared and complete markings allow for the differentiation between a europallet and a standard one
