Woodsafe® PRO™ is a well-established solution for the industrial fire-retardant treatment of solid wood and plywood. The product combines documented fire performance with the natural beauty of wood and can be applied to a wide range of timber species, including Scots pine, spruce, birch, larch, ash, cedar, maple, and oak.
This provides architects, contractors, and specifiers with extensive opportunities to use wood in environments with demanding fire safety requirements—from schools, sports arenas, and concert halls to hotels, public buildings, and painted timber façades, provided that the applicable coating specifications and installation guidelines are followed.
Woodsafe® PRO™ was the first fire-retardant treated wood (FRTW) to be CE certified under the European Construction Products Directive (CPD 89/106/EEC). Since 2013, the product has been covered by the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR 305/2011), meaning that its performance is declared and continuously assessed in accordance with applicable European legislation.
Since 2008, Woodsafe® PRO™ has also been covered by a Swedish Type Approval issued by a notified body. The Type Approval verifies that the product complies with the requirements applicable within its intended scope of use under Swedish building legislation and provides additional documentation to support specification, building control, and regulatory approval.
Although Swedish Type Approval is no longer mandatory, Woodsafe has chosen to maintain this independent verification. It reflects our commitment to providing documented solutions with a high level of traceability, quality, and long-term reliability. For us, it is a natural part of our ongoing commitment to quality assurance, technical documentation, and dependable long-term performance.
In addition, Woodsafe® PRO™ is approved according to EN 16755 for use classes INT1, INT2, and EXT. This means that the durability of its fire performance has been verified in accordance with the standard's test methods for the respective service environments. For exterior applications, the classification applies in combination with the specified surface coating system and the associated application guidelines.
