Standard Tests

We are able to conduct a wide variety of standard test methods for wood and wood-based materials.  A partial list of these tests are as follows:

StandardTitle
AWPA E10
Laboratory method for evaluating the decay resistance of wood-based materials against pure basidiomycete cultures: Soil/block test
WDMA TM 6-14
 Adhesive Durability: Test method for determining the durability of adhesives used in doors under accelerated aging conditions
NWWDA TM-2
Test method to determine the water-repellent effectiveness of treating formulations (swellometer test)
