About This Association

The American Wood Protection Association is an international, non-profit, technical society founded in 1904 to provide a common forum for the exchange of technical information between industry, research and users of treated wood. AWPA is the principal Standards-writing body for methods, preservatives, and other technologies which protect wood and wood-based products. Individuals with various areas of interest including consumers, end-users, government, academia, specifiers and producers meet on a regular basis to develop and maintain these Standards for preservatives and other protectants, treatments, testing methods, quality control and inspection procedures for treated wood products. AWPA relies on the expertise of and information voluntarily developed by technically qualified members.
