Once the treatment process

report, you are required to
issue a DoP in compliance
with Annex III of the CPR.

CE or UKCA marking, which
must then be a昀케xed to the
product.
The role of the treater

not own the product; they are
responsible for the correct
application of the treatment
and do play a critical
subcontracting role. They must:
Validate the product’s
physical characteristics (e.g.,
thickness, species, moisture

• Ensure alignment between
the supplied material,

• Apply approved FR
formulations in
controlled plant

• Maintain their own
certi昀椀ed FPC system
and undergo regular audits
by an approved (GB)/
noti昀椀ed (EU) body.
