Information for the Media
AWPA is always glad to respond to media inquiries. Please
keep in mind that our primary role is the development of wood
protection standards in an open, ANSI-accredited, consensus-based
process. Essentially, our organization is neutral and does
not promote one AWPA standardized product over another. Our
secondary function is the education of our members and the public on recent
developments in the science of wood protection. We do not
normally maintain or publish information on market trends or
product pricing. For more information on AWPA Standards,
products which meet AWPA Standards, or unbiased information on
wood protection technologies in general, please
contact us.

AWPA Boilerplate
About AWPA: Founded in 1904, the American Wood Protection
Association is a non-profit organization which promulgates
voluntary treated wood standards. AWPA Standards are developed by
its technical committees in an open, ANSI-accredited,
consensus-based process that involves individuals from all facets
of wood protection, including producers, end users, and those with
a general interest in treated wood products. AWPA Standards are
directly referenced in the major model building codes and are
recognized worldwide. AWPA charges no mandatory fees for the
consideration or listing of products in its Standards, and has no
financial interest in the use of any wood preservative or treated
wood product. The use of AWPA standards helps to ensure that
treated wood products perform satisfactorily for their end-use.
AWPA believes that a consensus-based process is necessary to
develop technically competent, credible standards. Membership in
AWPA is open to all interested individuals, and committee meetings
are open to all persons, whether or not they are members of the
Association. Visit us online at
