When and why WFQA was set up
The Wood Fuel Quality Assurance (WFQA) scheme for Ireland is an all island scheme established to increase consumer confidence in wood fuel products sold in Ireland.
A working group comprising of fuel producers committed to the production of high quality wood fuel products and representatives from the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, and IrBEA, produced National Workshop Agreement 4 (NWA4), which outlines the certification process that monitors their production processes and tests the quality of their finished product, ensuring that they meet pre-defined standards and that all wood fuel certified is sourced sustainably and in compliance with EUTR (EU Timber Regulation) ensuring full traceability back to source. As we grow, our members will provide consumers with a greater degree of confidence in secure supply of quality wood fuel products around Ireland.
