Check your pallet

Answer what you can see, and the checker returns a careful reading of it: likely Euro-format, marking needs checking, or route needs a freight or plant-health check. It will never tell you a consignment is compliant.

Step 1 of 80% complete
Measured across the top deck, what is the footprint?

Measure it rather than assume. The Euro footprint is 1200 x 800 mm.

Before you start

Have the pallet in front of you, with a tape measure, and enough light to read the centre block. Eight short questions, no account needed, and nothing is saved unless you choose to send it to us at the end.

  • Measure the deck rather than trusting the label on the load.
  • Photograph all four corner blocks and the centre block.
  • Note the route: rules follow the movement, not the brand.

This is a triage tool, not a compliance check

It returns cautious categories such as “likely Euro-format” or “marking needs checking”. It never certifies compliance, and it is no substitute for the checks your freight forwarder or the relevant authority carries out.

What this tool is not

It is not a compliance decision, a certificate, an inspection or advice. It cannot see your pallet, it relies entirely on what you tell it, and it is deliberately cautious where evidence is thin.

Border and plant-health questions must be settled with your freight forwarder or a plant-health professional, against current GOV.UK guidance.

Photographs help most

One clear image of each marked block — corner and centre — usually answers more than any questionnaire. You can attach photographs when you send the enquiry at the end; they are stored privately and are not published anywhere.
