IPM Houtbescherming
IPM Houtbescherming is a certification for professional companies managing wood-boring insects and fungi in historic buildings. The programme’s primary goal is to control pests while preserving the property’s invaluable cultural and historical character. It is designed for specialists in wood preservation. Control Union provides expert certification services for this specialised guideline, guiding organisations through the assessment process.
What is IPM Houtbescherming?
IPM Houtbescherming is based on the Dutch guideline URL 5001, which integrates Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles with the ‘restauratieladder’ framework for restoration choices. Developed by KPMB, the scheme ensures that pest control is performed with minimal use of biocides and maximum respect for a building’s heritage. For professional companies, this certification provides demonstrable proof of the specialised knowledge required to operate in sensitive historic environments, offering security to clients that their valuable properties are in expert hands.
