SHI product passport – verified product information for planning and funding
The esb-Plus board and the vita natural wood board each have an SHI product passport from the Sentinel Holding Institute. It provides verified and transparent information on ingredients, emissions and other product-related properties.
The SHI product passport brings together product-relevant information in one place. It supports architects, planners and building owners in selecting building materials and can be used as supporting documentation in projects with requirements for emissions and material assessment.
The SHI product passport supports the documentation of product-related requirements under the Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings (QNG). It provides verified product information that can be drawn on for the assessment of an individual building project, and it makes the documentation easier during planning. Whether a building meets the QNG criteria and qualifies for funding depends on the overall design and is determined by an approved certification body.
The product passport not only looks at technical parameters, but also focuses specifically on health compatibility, low emissions and transparency. The assessment is carried out by the institute, independently of the manufacturer and according to defined criteria, and provides a transparent basis for planning and documentation.
Our claim
With the SHI product passports for the esb Plus and the vita natural wood panel, we make verified product information transparently available and support planners, contractors and building owners in documenting their projects.

Funding from the European Union
Part of our natural wood panel production was supported by an EU funding program in 2019/2020:
- Program: IWB-EFRE Rhineland-Palatinate 2014 – 2020
- Funding program to increase energy and resource efficiency in commercial enterprises P3-SZ5-1
- Brief description of the project: Replacement of an inefficient wood saw with a state-of-the-art sawing system with a smaller kerf. This significantly increases the timber yield.
