For EU shipping, non-compliant pallets cost businesses €2,000+ in customs delays/fines annually. EU-standard plastic pallets fix this—they meet strict REACH/EN 13382 rules, outlast wood, and cut long-term costs. Here’s what you need to know.
Two rules make or break your pallets:
- REACH (EC 1907/2006): Bans 23+ hazardous substances (lead, phthalates). Critical for food/pharmaceuticals—non-compliant pallets risk product recalls (avg. €150k for small businesses).
- EN 13382:2022: Requires min. 1,500kg dynamic load, 5,000kg static load, and 1.2m drop resistance. Wooden pallets fail this after 3–5 uses; plastic lasts 50+.

-
By Industry:
- Food/Pharma: Food-grade HDPE (meets EC 10/2011).
- Heavy-Duty: PP (3,000kg dynamic load).
- One-Way Shipping: Lightweight HDPE (10kg).
-
Racking Rating:
- Racking use: Look for “EN 13382 R” (1k–2k kg capacity).
