A call for Pan-European building standards
Building standards are an interesting topic of discussion in the European wood products industry. Currently a wide range of timber-building systems based on national and regional building codes and product standards can be found in different parts of Europe. Combined with deeply rooted traditions, this situation is preventing the industry from moving towards the mass production and distribution of wooden building products which would benefit both consumers and the industry itself. Uniform European timber-building principles and standards would not only permit this development but also enable us to maintain versatile original design traditions, the training of new wood-building experts and the general promotion of cost-efficient timber building. Stora Enso is an active supporter of initiatives that would unite the industry in concerted action in this respect.
