Certificates

How does our WFQA and EPA certification benefit our customers?

What is WFQA and EPA certification?

WFQA (Wood Fuel Quality Assurance) certification is a quality guarantee for fuel wood products such as firewood, pellets, briquettes and wood chips. This certification scheme is managed by the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) and was created to ensure that wood fuels are produced, processed and stored in a way that delivers the best performance and efficiency for consumers.

EPA certification is the process by which products, such as solid fuels, are assessed and approved by Ireland’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure that they meet specific environmental regulations. EPA certification ensures that products, such as firewood, meet standards set to minimize air pollution and protect public health.

Benefits of Certification

Quality

WFQA certification ensures that the wood meets the quality standards of EN ISO 17225. This means that you are purchasing a product that has been tested and approved.

Reliability

When you purchase WFQA certified firewood, you can be assured that the product is safe and reliable. Certification includes rigorous checks and audits.

Sustainability

WFQA certified products come from sustainable and traceable sources. Certification guarantees that the wood used is harvested legally and sustainably.

Information and Transparency

Certification requires suppliers to provide detailed information about wood origin, moisture content, and storage and use instructions. This helps you better understand the product you are purchasing.

Environmental Compliance

We follow environmental regulations including the Air Pollution Act 1987 and the Solid Fuels Regulations 2022. This means you are contributing to reducing pollution.

Certificate of conformity

The certificate issued by WFQA and EPA confirms that the supplier has undergone a rigorous assessment and meets quality and sustainability standards. This certificate is renewed annually and can be revoked if the supplier does not maintain the required standards
