Segezha Group confirms the quality of its CLT panels by obtaining the Conformité Européenne (CE) certificate

The Sokol CLT plant belonging to Segezha Group has successfully passed Conformité Européenne certification for its cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The CE certificate was obtained after a field audit performed by employees of HolzForschung Austria, the largest Austrian wood research and testing institute. The certificate confirms that the enterprise has deployed modern practices to verify that the quality of its products meets European requirements. Prior to this, CLT panels underwent the European Technical Assessment (ETA) procedure in the authorised laboratories at the Graz University of Technology (TUI Graz), where detailed tests were carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the panels.

The CE marking will facilitate the introduction of Sokol CLT products to the European market. Currently, the Group produces CLT panels only at the plant in Sokol, Vologda Region.
