Laboratory of Wood in Construction

Laboratory of Wood in Construction (LDG) of the Institute of Furniture and Wood Products, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of the University of Zagreb is accredited based on the required standards HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for testing of wood floorings, wooden floor surface treatments, adhesives for wooden floors and selected physical properties of wood (Croatian Accreditation Agency Confirmation No.1175).


 
Main activities of the Laboratory include the accredited and non-accredited testing, research, education, publishing and expertise.
