What Is an EPAL Pallet Certificate?

What Is an EPAL Pallet Certificate?

The EPAL (European Pallet Association) pallet certificate is a document that confirms a pallet meets the EPAL quality standards. The certificate evidences that the pallet is built to the EPAL specification for strength, durability, and dimensional accuracy. EPAL pallets are widely used in European logistics networks and are often repaired or reconditioned under the EPAL scheme. The certificate confirms that a producer or repair centre is authorised to issue or repair pallets under these standards.

How to Obtain an EPAL Pallet Certificate

The EPAL application runs through the following stages:

• Application: Sistem Patent Kalite files the EPAL application on your behalf. The application identifies the facility, the pallet type, and whether the scope covers production, repair, or both.
• Facility and product review: the pallet production or repair facility is assessed against the EPAL standards. The review covers quality of the pallet output, dimensional tolerances, wood grade, fastener specification, and durability.
• Certification: if the facility and output meet the requirements, the EPAL certificate is issued and the facility is authorised to apply the EPAL mark.

Which Operations Does EPAL Cover?

The EPAL certificate applies to pallet producers and to companies that carry out EPAL pallet repair. Both activities require EPAL certification before the output can be marked with the EPAL logo.

EPAL Pallet Certificate Fees

Fees depend on the facility size, the scope (production, repair, or both), and the annual pallet output. Ask for a quote once the scope is confirmed.
