Clear product labelling, chain-of-custody systems and documentation provide accountability across sourcing, manufacturing and supply.
Non-conforming timber leadership
Wesbeam actively advocates against non-conforming timber to protect builders, engineers, homeowners and the broader industry.
Trusted Certification
Quality Performance Properties
Wesbeam’s Quality Management System aims to ensure that every Wesbeam product consistently meets its specified bond and structural performance requirements, as well as other applicable quality requirements, including dimensions, coatings, branding and customer-specific requirements.
Quality is embedded throughout the manufacturing process, from raw material selection through to final product inspection. Established process controls, testing and monitoring activities are applied to verify product performance, consistency and compliance with applicable Australian Standards and product specifications.
This approach provides confidence that products are manufactured to the required standard and are fit for their intended purpose, while enabling quality trends and potential issues to be identified and addressed before they affect product performance or customer requirements.
Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia (EWPAA)
The EWPAA is an accredited LVL, I-Joist, plywood and veneer product certifier by the peak certifying body in Australasia, the Joint Accreditation System – Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ). JAS-ANZ certified products meet the acceptance criteria of the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia; and State and Commonwealth purchasing authorities.
All Wesbeam manufactured products meet specific performance properties which are independently tested and verified through our participation in the EWPAA Quality Control Policy and Product Certification Scheme. Wesbeam staff actively support the maintenance of this Quality Assurance program.
Termite and Fungicide Treatments
LVL manufactured at Wesbeam will either be untreated or treated to provide protection against termite and/or fungal attack. Two methods are used for these treatments:
Glue-line, e2S (termite resistant treatment suitable for use in the South of the Tropic of Capricorn)
LOSP (Light Organic Solvent Preservative), H2 and H3 (termite and fungicide treatment) suitable for use in all geographic areas including above the Tropic of Capricorn
For products manufactured with a glue-line termiticide treatment, the termiticide is added in the glue (adhesive) used for veneer lamination to achieve an acceptable level of treatment for use in the South of the Tropic of Capricorn and is suitable for internal use that is above ground. This treatment is carried out in accordance with CodeMark® Certification. LOSP treatments, H2 and H3, of LVL are carried out at the Wesbeam LOSP treatment plant or outsourced and comply to AS/NZS 1604. The effectiveness of termiticide and fungicide retention levels are ensured for ongoing compliance.
CodeMark® Certification
CodeMark® is a voluntary building product certification scheme designed and managed by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB). Products which carry CodeMark® stamp of approval are guaranteed to comply with or exceed the Building Code of Australia’s (BCA) performance requirements.
To achieve CodeMark® certification, Wesbeam’s innovative treatment processes must be strictly audited by third-party experts and checked annually. This rigorous, independent assessment is a guarantee of treatment compliance, quality and performance for any Wesbeam product bearing the CodeMark® stamp.
Chain of Custody
Wesbeam’s LVL products are manufactured using timber sourced from sustainably managed forest resources certified under the Responsible Wood Certification Scheme to Australian Standard AS 4707.
Wesbeam maintains Responsible Wood (RW) Chain of Custody Certification, providing a documented system for tracking certified timber through the supply chain and into Wesbeam’s LVL products. The Chain of Custody system used by Wesbeam operates under the Inventory Control and Accounting – Volume Credit method, as specified in our certification.
AS 4707 provides the Australian requirements for Chain of Custody certification for forest and timber products and is endorsed by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), an international forest certification system promoting sustainable forest management.
Through its Chain of Custody system, Wesbeam can account for certified timber inputs and demonstrate the traceability of certified material from its source through to the manufacture and supply of LVL products.
This certification provides assurance to architects, building designers, specifiers and customers who require certified timber products for projects with responsible sourcing or Chain of Custody requirements.
