  Presentation: Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood and the IBC

  Description: This presentation discusses fire-retardant-treated (FRT) wood and IBC related applications. Additional emphasis is placed on testing and labeling required by the IBC, including applications in both combustible and noncombustible construction environments. Learning objectives include understanding the manufacture of FRTW, identifying FRTW and understanding its labeling, and uses allowed in the building code.
