A scheme to award points for environmental good practice in buildings other than houses. These points result in a building rating from Good to Excellent. This is applicable in England only. North America has a similar scheme called LEED. bs British Standards is the UK’s National Standards Body (NSB). It works with manufacturing and service industries, businesses, governments and consumers to facilitate the production of British, European and international standards. bwF British Woodworking Federation. carb 2 compliant The Californian Air Resources Board CARB system (which measures airborne emissions rather than the amount of the formaldehyde in the board) is emerging as the standard in the marketplace. The CARB 2 regulation will establish the toughest production standards in the world for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood panels. ce Mark Certificate European. All wood based panels intended for use in construction must be CE-marked in accordance with EN 13986. ce2+ CE2+ is awarded to plywood which has normally undergone Attestation System 2+ demonstrating it is suitable for use in structural applications. An independent organisation must test products to ensure they conform to this guarantee. ce4+ The CE4+ mark demonstrates that all tests for nonstructural use have been conducted. No independent organisation is involved with these tests. chain of custody (coc) A generic phrase for systems that allow traceability of wood through the supply chain to the forest of origination. cpd Construction Products Directive (CPD) is a European legal framework regulating building products are fit for their purpose in terms of their technical performance. A product is CPD compliant if the manufacturer has successfully completed all the relevant performance tests. 50 cpeT Central Point of Expertise on Timber. CPET advises the Government on timber procurement in the public sector. crown cut A veneer which gives a more figured face, produced from flat slicing. csa Canadian Standards Association – A North American certification scheme. delamination Separation of veneers from substrate through failure of the bond. density The amount of compression of boards equates to kg per m³, e.g. 630D, 720D. doorblank A doorblank is a thick panel usually 45 or 54mm thick which can be trimmed and lipped to produce a finished door. They are normally a solid and timber or solid chipboard core faced with either plywood or MDF ready for finishing. durability Natural durability is the inherent resistance of wood to attack by wood destroying organisms. euroclass b The highest level of reaction to fire performance of which wood based panels are capable. euroclass c An intermediate level of reaction to fire performance of which wood based panels are capable. Fire resistance / Fire retardant A measure of the ability of a product, when part of a complete structure, to prevent the passage of fire from one area of a building to another. Panel product fire resistance is identified under the Euroclass B & C system, whereas doors are normally measured in units of half hour. Fd30 Fire Door 30 – this identifies the door as guaranteeing to prevent the passage of fire from one area of a building to another for 30 minutes, when part of a complete structure. This is certified under the BM TRADA Q Mark Third party certification scheme. Fd60 Fire Door 60 – this identifies the door as guaranteeing to prevent the passage of fire from one area of a building to another for 60 minutes, when part of a complete structure. This is certified under the BM TRADA Q Mark Third party certification scheme. Fsc Forest Stewardship Council – An international certification scheme. harmonised standard A principle European standard, made by CEN in accordance with a mandate from the European commission, consolidating the harmonised European requirements of a defined building product or group of building products. In the case of wood based panels, the Harmonised Standard is EN 13986. iwsc Institute of Wood Science. leed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The Green Building Rating System developed by the US Green Building Council to provide a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. This is the equivalent to England’s BREEAM scheme. Mr Moisture Resistant – MR boards are treated to protect the product against moisture and high humidity so are suitable for use in these environments. MTcc Malaysian Timber Council Certification – A Malaysian certification scheme. peFc Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification – An international certification scheme. Quarter cut A veneer with a straight grain face produced by quarter slicing. sFi Sustainable Forest Initiative – A North American certification scheme. sheet length Dimension in the direction of the grain of the face of the sheet. sheet width Dimension perpendicular to the direction of the grain of the face of the sheet. substrate Base panel onto which veneer layons are applied. Tdca Timber Decking and Cladding Association. The building regulations A set of rules governing the selection of materials and the standard of workmanship in the construction of building in England and Wales. These rules are regulated and enforced by the Building Control service. Trada Timber Research and Development Association. wbp Weather and boil proof plywood is suitable for exterior environments. They are manufactured with water resistant adhesives and can resist a certain amount of moisture. WBP plywood requires paint or varnish to protect the outer veneer from the elements.
