CE marking, timber grading, labelling and packaging

Sawn timber heat-treated in accordance with ISPM 15 standard, the standard governing wood packaging materials, is marked. Our sawn timber is graded according to the NF B 001 visual structural grading standard of December 1998 for structural timber and according to the NF B 1611-1 softwood appearance grading standard of October 1999 applicable to French softwoods for timber intended for visible applications
