• If disinfectants or insecticides must be used to treat
packing materials such as wooden frames, pallets, or
plywood, the packing materials must be treated
before the product is packaged, and methods other
than fumigation must be used.
Example: Heat treatment, where materials are kiln-dried to
a core temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes or more.
If the electronic products, which include stand-alone prod-
ucts and products installed in machines, are packed with
fumigated wooden materials, the electrical components
may be greatly damaged by the gases or fumes resulting
from the fumigation process. In particular, disinfectants
containing halogen, which includes chlorine, fluorine, bro-
mine, or iodine can contribute to the erosion of the capaci-
tors.
