HPVA’s “New” Certification and Testing Program

The Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association is pleased to announce that we are offering enhanced services to meet your product testing and certification program needs. With the new California formaldehyde product emission standards for composite wood products (CARB) taking effect in January, 2009, and more related requirements in other environmental stewardship programs on the near horizon, HPVA is now prepared to meet your enhanced product testing and certification program needs. At our Reston testing facility, we have made necessary upgrades in our pre-conditioning room to meet stringent, new requirements for zero background levels, added new DNPH analytical testing capability, and new small scale chamber capacity for QC testing. This combines with almost 25 years of large scale chamber testing experience and thousands of desiccator QC tests conducted at the Reston facility to offer you an unparalleled service provider. Experience counts and HPVA has completed the certification requirements for the International Accreditation Service (IAS), ISO 65, and California Third Party Certification (TPC). This builds off the IAS accreditation for the fire testing that has also been a mainstay of HPVA’s testing and certification program. The Reston facility has sufficient capacity to meet the testing needs of both association members and non-members of the association. As a service to facilities west of the Rockies, we have contracted with a certified testing facility in Springfield OR to provide a more convenient western test location. This testing laboratory can perform the large scale formaldehyde chamber test and the small scale chamber test, both for CARB certification. HPVA continues to offer fire and flame spread and physical performance product testing.

An industry leader because of our considerable expertise, the HPVA technical laboratory includes wood science, fire, and analytical chemistry professionals and can handle many of your laboratory testing and R&D needs.
