BIS certification is mandatory for fire retardant plywood as per Indian standard IS 5509:2021. This standard outlines specifications for fire retardant chemicals, treatment methods, retention, and other requirements for fire retardant plywood. Fire retardant plywood, also known as fire-rated or FR plywood, undergoes a special treatment during manufacturing to reduce flammability and slow the spread of fire. It involves applying wood veneer or entire plywood panels with fire-resistant chemicals or coatings.
Widely used in construction settings where fire safety is paramount, fire retardant plywood is used in interior wall and ceiling panels, fire-rated doors, commercial kitchen cabinetry and structural elements in high-risk areas. IS 5509:2021 serves as an important guideline for plywood manufacturers to ensure that their products are tested and certified for their fire resistant properties.
Adherence to IS 5509:2021 not only enhances fire safety but also helps manufacturers reduce financial and legal risks associated with non-compliance. It is mandatory for manufacturers of fire retardant plywood to obtain the necessary ISI Mark certification to legally market, import or export these products in the Indian consumer market.
TESTS
The following are the major tests for Fire Retardant Plywood:
- Preservative treatment

By increasing resistance to fire, ISI certification contributes to the overall safety and protection of structures and their occupants.
