This report is based on the resistance to fire tests done in the Wood:UpHigh project. To gain further knowledge from the tests, additional thermocouples were added through the different layers of the test specimen. This report summarises some of the different covering used in the project, and their ability to protect the construction. The purpose of this report is to show the market, potential solutions that could be developed, tested, and launched as a new fire protection solution.

The following tests are intended as an inspirational basis, indicating whether it is possible to design biobased structures that may pass a full-scale classification test.

The results were used by the projects stakeholder group to select the full scale specimens.
