A factsheet to guide designers, specifiers and manufacturers through the process of using wood-based products and timber has been produced by TRADA Technology and Chiltern Fire International.
The document considers how the fire performance of doors is also dictated by fixings, joints and thickness, and looks at the first three phases of fire: ignition; fire growth; and the fully developed fire.
Wood-based panel products and timber in fire links the requirements of Building Regulations in the UK with the relevant British and European test standards.
TRADA members can download a PDF free of charge, and all registered visitors to the website at www.trada.co.uk can access the text in HTML format. There is no charge to register.
