Quality

Certified by Eurofins

Eurofins Scientific, the largest network of laboratories worldwide, in Chile offers analysis and programs for the wood industry, having as one of the main activities developed by the Wood Quality Area, the Permanent Improvement Programme for Impregnated Wood, implemented since 1989 through Fundación Chile.

Rio Claro is subscribed to this program, Eurofins makes samples of each of the impregnation loads and analyzes them in its laboratory network, ensuring proper compliance with the provisions of the National Institute for Standardization (INN).

Samples are extracted according to the standards:

NCH ​​819: preserved wood – radiata pine – classification according to risk of deterioration in service and sampling
NCH ​​1208: Quality control – inspection by variable tables and sampling procedures

To then be tested according to the standards:

NCH ​​755: wood – preservation – measurement of the penetration of wood preservatives.
NCh 763/1: wood – preservation – part 1: analysis of preserved wood and preservative solutions by means of x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.

In this way, Eurofins provides support that ensures that each wood impregnated in the production plant meets the national and international quality standards, complying with the retention and penetration of preservatives according to the risk of deterioration in service.

The Permanent Improvement Programme, under the responsibility of Eurofins, allows customers to deliver the “Certificate of Analysis and Sampling” detailing:
