Fire Retardant Guidelines

New interim testing guidelines for the design and installation of fire retardant treated wood have been released by the Fire Retardant Treated Wood Manufacturers Council. The newly-formed council comprises a group of fire retardant chemical and fire retardant treated lumber manufacturers.

According to George Eliades, president of the Society of American Wood Preservers and executive director of the council, "The new testing guidelines have been developed in response to isolated reports of product degradation under severe moisture conditions or unusually high temperatures." Specifically, the new guidelines establish maximum temperatures and moisture levels for fire retardant treated lumber and plywood.

Other major elements of the new guidelines include specific requirements regarding drying of the prod- uct after treatment; proper storage at the job site; precautions to be taken prior to applying the roof covering and ventilation requirements.

"These interim guidelines have been developed for designers and end-users in order to provide a meaningful standard by which to measure product integrity," Eliades adds. "For user groups, these uniformly accepted levels provide maximum moisture and temperature limits below which satisfactory performance can be expected."

The council is working with the National Forest Products Associa- tion (NFPA) to develop test procedures for evaluating fire retardant pressure treated wood products under ambient and accelerated conditions. The NFPA already requires third party testing and certification of recommended strength values as well as continuous monitoring of the production and redrying processes by an approved third-party inspection agency.

The council is working closely with numerous organizations including lumber dealers, contractors, retail dealer associations and various municipalities.
