The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has recalled from the UK market a timber product used for construction sheeting after it was found not to consistently achieve the declared reaction to fire performance.
Although Sentrin FRI Plywood is marketed as achieving a Euroclass B fire safety classification, which stands for a “very limited contribution to fire”, the UK’s product regulator said there was no evidence it could consistently achieve this classification for reaction to fire performance.
The product does not have a compliant declaration of performance or evidence of initial type testing to verify the reaction to fire performance. It also does not meet the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 as it applies in the UK.
