British Standards
Class 1 and Class 0 have been the traditional fire performances
required in the UK for a number of years. Class 1 (BS 476 Part 7) is
commonly referred to as the Surface Spread of Flame. Class 0 (BS
476 Parts 6 & 7) is more stringent and includes Class 1 but also Part
6 which is known as the Fire Propagation Index which measures the
heat released when timber burns.
European Classifications
Whilst we are currently in a transitional stage between British
Standards and the new European classifications, eventually, at some
point in the next few years the European classifications will become
mandatory for materials used for permanent constructions.
To meet the new European classifications, the rate of fire growth,
lateral flame spread, total heat release and smoke production for
wood and wood based panel products derived from European tests
are used to classify materials as Euroclass B or C in accordance
with BS EN 13501-1. Important: a particular species / thickness
is not deemed to have full formal Euroclass status (B or C) until a
Classification report has been issued. Companies who fire treat
timber / plywood should be able to present such certification on
request as evidence of compliance.
Further processing
Most timber products can be treated by pressure impregnation or
surface coating processes to comply with FR regulations. Please
contact us for details of this service.
Please note: where a fire certificate is required for fabricated
material, care must be taken to ensure that the total composite
will achieve the required result, which can only be determined by
appropriate testing. Customers and specifiers must satisfy themselves
that the products they chose are fit for the required applications.

FR Tropical Plywood
ATP Generic is a Type DI fire retardant impregnation treatment suitable for plywood to provide a Euroclass B and /or Euroclass C fire performance
in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 depending upon plywood species and thickness. Impregnation with ATP Generic is a vacuum/pressure process
followed by kiln drying.
Applications: Exhibition work, shop fittings and temporary general construction work.
