Hazard

The product does not have a compliant Declaration of Performance or evidence of initial type testing to verify the reaction to fire performance. The product is marketed as Euroclass B, but there is no evidence that it could consistently achieve Euroclass B for reaction to fire performance. The product therefore may not perform with the declared reaction to fire performance required or be suitable for its original desired application. The product does not meet the requirements of EU Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 as they apply in the UK.

Remedy

The manufacturers listed above have recalled the product from the UK market and are under requirement to warn those they have supplied of the risk the product poses. For manufacturer-specific recall information, please see the links below: National Timber Group: Panel Supplies Limited recall information: https://www.nationaltimbergroup.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Sentrin-Treated-FR-Plywood-06.06.25-website-notice.pdf Panel Supplies Limited: https://panelsupplies.co.uk/products/product-recall/ Creffields (Timber & Boards) Limited: https://www.creffields.co.uk/product-recall/ Huws Gray Limited: https://www.thetimbergroup.co.uk/product-recall The potential impact of lower performance of a product in relation to reaction to fire and building safety will vary on a project-by-project basis and will depend on factors unique to each building. Where already incorporated, building owners should seek advice from their building safety officer, an independent inspector, fire safety officer or a relevant building control authority, as appropriate, and consider reviewing the building’s fire strategy if necessary.
