Response to Delegated Regulation under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (wood panelling)

22 May 2023

Dear Sir/Madam, The Estonian Forest and Wood Industries Association find that the draft delegated regulation on the conditions for classification, without testing, of solid wood panelling and cladding with regard to their reaction to fire and amending Decision 2006/213/EC has serious implications for the existing solid wood panelling and cladding market if all the manufacturers will be forced to carry out individual reaction-to-fire testing for the classification of their products without appropriate transitional period (a minimum 3 years). Therefore, we fully agree with the feedback positions from the association Deutsche Bauchemie (22 May 2023), from The Netherlands Timber Trade Association and Centrum Hout, the Federation for the Wood Working Industry in the Netherlands (17 May 2023) and from the Estonian Woodhouse Association (22 May 2023). Yours Sincerely, Henrik Välja CEO Estonian Forest and Wood Industries Association
