1 Scope
This European Standard describes the characteristics for fire-retardant treated wood
products.
NOTE 1 It is based on maintaining performance undiminished throughout the desired service
life in the anticipated conditions of use.
The European Standard prescribes the classification requirements for the durability
of the reaction to fire performance of fire-retardant treated wood products to be
used in interior and exterior end use conditions.
This European Standard applies to wood which has been treated during a production
process with fire retardant products applied either by a penetration process or by
a superficial process, such as with a film forming or intumescent fire retardant coating.
It covers fire-retardant treated products that are coated with an ordinary paint .
Mechanical properties and biological durability of fire-retardant treated wood products
are not covered by this European Standard.
