Woodsure is the UK's new woodfuel quality assurance standard.

This not-for-profit scheme provides a straightforward, thorough procedure for assessing the quality and sustainability of woodfuel supplied for use in biomass boilers and woodfuel appliances. The scheme is supported by HETAS.

Woodsure’s quality testing ensures that the producer and the supplier know how to make or supply fuel that will be right for your boiler.

Our simple, practical approach to accreditation and our stringent quality evaluation regime means that woodfuel production costs can be kept down but quality improves.

Woodfuel – is there enough?
To ensure we do not run out of fuel our Woodsure Plus standard demonstrates that timber is derived from sustainable sources. This could be a woodland that is managed in a sustainable manner, trees from historical habitat management such as heathland restoration, clean used wood or old pallets. Ensuring that timber comes from sustainable sources will enable us to continue supplying woodfuel indefinitely.

   Biomass boilers need high quality woodfuel
  A reliable source of correctly-specified woodfuel is vital to the efficient, trouble-free operation of a biomass boiler. The majority of boiler problems arise from poor quality fuel of the wrong specification.

Woodfuel consumers can be confident that a Woodsure Accredited fuel supply will optimise performance from their appliance.
