Information from Forintek's field-testing program provides technical support to marketing and helps Canadian forest products companies access domestic and export markets for which Standards compliance is important. Forintek is virtually the only independent source of commodity and preservative performance data for the Canadian Standards Association O80 Technical Committee on Wood Preservation. We are also one of the very few sources of such data, with respect to Canadian wood species, for the American, European, and Japanese Standards. All changes to Standards require supporting data. Our field test information thus assists in marketing Canadian wood products.
