The HPVA Laboratory has the unique capabilities to conduct certain product tests for R & D and for compliance with national codes and standards. Our clients include industry, government, and other laboratories.

The HPVA testing laboratory has been in operation since 1954. The 6,000 square foot laboratory in Reston, Virginia was established for determining important performance properties of hardwood plywood and other materials.

Throughout the years, HPVA has developed a series of specialized services available on a commercial basis. HPVA, working with the Composite Panel Association (CPA), helped develop the ASTM D 5582 Two-Hour Desiccator Test for Small Scale Testing and the ASTM E 1333 Large Chamber for Formaldehyde Testing.
