Biobased construction offers major opportunities for sustainable and circular area development, but also raises questions about fire safety. What does the new NTA 6125 mean for timber and biobased structures? And what insights emerge from ongoing research into risks, fire load and test strategies?

In this session, Pascal Steenbakkers (rapporteur for NTA 6125 and co-developer of NTA 8230-2) will take you through the latest insights from research and standards development. Together with experts, he will discuss the real risks, the misconceptions and the opportunities to apply biobased materials safely in modern building systems.
This is not a technical lecture tour, but an inspiring and honest discussion about what is possible—and how we can together deliver sustainable ambitions safely.
