WPA – Wood Protection Association

The Wood Protection Association (WPA) is a technical and advisory organisation dedicated to improving the performance and value of wood as a sustainable construction material. The aim is to guide specifiers and designers to make the right choices for wood on resistance to decay, insects and fire. The technologies involve factory treatment of wood and products prior to installation. The level of protection is tailored precisely to the application for which wood is to be used. The WPA benchmark scheme relates specifically to the durability (resistance to biological degradation) of wood treated with preservative by an industrial impregnation process. It applies specifically to a treated product such as a post. Products certificated under this scheme are verified as being compliant with BS8417, the wood preservation code of practice.

WPA Benchmark Approved Treater

The WPA Benchmark Approved (TW) Scheme relates specifically to the durability of wood and wood-based materials pre-treated by an industrial process. A company operating a treatment plant or plants that have been subject to audit and shown capable of producing Approved Products under the terms of the Benchmark scheme. Not all materials produced by an Approved Treater will necessarily be Approved Products, depending on the scope of products submitted for audit. The WPA Benchmark Scheme therefore operates on the principle that wood consistently treated in accordance with the WPA Code of Practice is a durable material which will exhibit the minimum penetration and retention requirements for the relevant end use and service life.
