ENPlus Licenced Producer & Trader

ENPlus is the quality seal for the worldwide wood pellet supply chain, ensuring that all stages within production and delivery meant the customer was receiving the product in line with its specification. ENPlus manages the specification A1, A2 or B with A1 being the highest quality. This is required for most commercial and all domestic boilers which has now been adopted globally as one standard.

To meet ENPlus standards the wood pellets must be delivered through a certified trader, who by achieving the quality seal have demonstrated that deliveries will be under low pressure, have mechanical dust extraction and that the product can be traced back to source should any issues arise.
Product delivered by non certified traders will be deemed not to be to ENPlus standards.
