Technical Data Sheets & Certifications Explained
Here we publish precise technical data sheets and officially issued certificates that define what a product is allowed to claim, and what it is not.
You will find declared performance values, applicable EN standards, reaction-to-fire classes, emission classes, durability ratings, and bonding types, alongside the European certifications that support them, such as CE marking, EN test reports, DoP references, and third-party certifications. Every document is presented with its scope and limitations, so data is not taken out of context or overstated. Additional practical and explanatory information can be found in the Plywood E-Guide.
This section is intended for architects, engineers, contractors, and buyers who need verifiable, regulation-aligned information for specification, compliance, and audit purposes.
