Quality documentation and certification
NTI (Norwegian Institute of Wood Technology) plays an important role as a testing laboratory, as well as a certification body. The demand for these kinds of services are increasing, due to authorities’ requirements for documentation, and the market demand for documented product properties.
The institute has invested in competence, laboratory equipment, a comprehensive quality system and the formal status to be an internationally recognized testing and inspection body for the wood industry.
Our mechanical testing laboratory and our certification activities within CE and PEFC are accredited by Norwegian Accreditation, with registration numbers TEST 021 and PROD 023.
The institute is appointed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry as notified body for attestation of conformity with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This applies to structural timber products and wood based panels. This means that the institute can perform testing and certification as basis for CE marking of building products.
