The EU CE-mark is necessary to sell construction products in the EU, but also brings credibility and added-value for export, for example for timber and wood products used in both commercial and residential buildings. An article published by Burnblock explains that the CE-mark guarantees fire performance and is verified by AVCP (Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance) level 1/1+, that is subject to external audit by an EU-recognised ‘Notified Body’.
This is detailed in NB-CPR/SH02/19/832r2. Burnblock, Denmark, offers non-toxic, biodegradable, non-hazardous impregnation flame retardants for timber, plywood and boards, coatings and natural fibres. Burnblock also benefits from EPD® (Environmental Product Declaration) and Gold-level Cradle-to-Cradle® certification.
