Woodsafe – Technical Support for Fire Safety Consultants

Verified documentation, technical expertise, and decision-making support for project planning.

As a fire safety consultant, you are responsible for ensuring that fire protection solutions comply with applicable regulations and can be verified throughout the entire construction process. Woodsafe offers technical support, documented performance, and quality-assured documentation that facilitates design, review, and follow-up.

Since 1990, Woodsafe has specialized in industrial fire-retardant treatment of wood and plywood. The company’s operations include research, product development, certified production, and continuous third-party-monitored manufacturing controls. These solutions are used in everything from residential buildings and schools to complex facade systems and international construction projects with stringent requirements for verified fire performance.

For fire safety consultants, this means access to technical documentation such as classification reports, Declarations of Performance (DoP), Field of Application (FoA), type approvals, documented use classes, EPDs, and other project-relevant documentation. We place great emphasis on traceability, correct application, and ensuring that the documentation clearly describes the conditions under which a solution has been tested and verified. In a regulatory framework where responsibility, oversight, and documentation are becoming increasingly important, it is crucial that decisions are based on verifiable facts and relevant technical documentation.

For you as a fire safety consultant, this means being able to design projects using a decision-making framework that is technically accurate, well-documented, and sustainable—from the design phase through to the completed building.

Verified Decision-Making Documentation for Fire Safety Consultants

Technical expertise, proven performance, and quality-assured documentation that strengthen the design process and reduce project risk. Here are six reasons why Woodsafe is a reliable partner throughout the entire construction process.
  • Certified Production - Manufacturing is monitored by a notified body in accordance with AVCP System 1, with ongoing third-party inspections by RISE (0402), NTI, UL, and WPA.
  • Documentation—Classification Reports, Assessments, Declarations of Performance, and EPDs are available for design and supervision.
     
  • Global Experience —References from large-scale projects in Europe, North America, and the Middle East, with proven performance in practical applications.
  • Independent verification—Performance is verified through accredited testing, established by third-party certification bodies and conducted in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.
  • Partnerships –Long-term partnerships with leading regulatory agencies, fire engineers, and independent research institutes in the relevant regulatory fields.
  • Transparency—Clear reporting of application, conditions, and limitations, with verifiable information in accordance with established regulations and standards.

Education

Deepen your knowledge of fire-retardant wood and make more informed technical decisions. Our training programs are based on over 35 years of practical experience, research, and verified testing. The content covers European and international standards, including EN, ASTM, and UL, with a focus on correct application, verified performance, and long-term fire performance.

  • Fire-retardant wood is a specialized technical field where knowledge is the foundation for sound decision-making. Woodsafe’s training programs provide an in-depth understanding of fire-retardant-treated wood, applicable regulations, and verified performance. By combining practical experience, research, and testing, we create a more reliable basis for decision-making regarding design, specifications, and long-term application.
  • The training courses cover fire class, use class, EN 16755, CE marking, and verified durability. Through practical examples and real-world projects, we shed light on common misconceptions regarding testing methods, climate impact, and long-term fire performance—with a focus on documentation and technical decisions that stand up to scrutiny.
  • A central part of the training is explaining how fire-retardant treatment interacts with the wood’s natural fire behavior. We demonstrate why controlled charring is an intended protective function, how the char layer reduces heat transfer and limits the formation of combustible pyrolysis gases, and why fire-retardant wood should be assessed based on verified flame spread (Flame Spread) and documented fire performance—not based on whether or not the wood chars.
     
  • The training program includes a guided tour of the production facilities. Here, you’ll follow the entire manufacturing process—from raw materials to the finished product—and see how quality assurance, traceability, and verification are integrated into every step. This provides a practical understanding of how documented fire performance is established and ensured.
     
  • We’d be happy to welcome you to Woodsafe in Västerås for a training session that includes a factory and laboratory tour. If you’re short on time or the trip is too long, we’d be happy to come to you instead. Our training sessions can be held at your location and tailored to your project, business, and participants’ needs.
  • The training also includes a visit to Woodsafe Research & Development and our Swedac-accredited laboratories. Here, you’ll observe how testing, verification, and quality assurance are conducted in accordance with standards such as EN 13823, ISO 5660-1, and EN 16755. Through hands-on demonstrations, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of traceability, regulatory requirements, and the documentation needed to ensure verified performance and decisions that stand up to technical review.
