Never saw wood in ITE equipment . . . other than in the 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' movie. The first Apple was built out of wood. I don't suppose we'd find too much of that these days.
Seems to me that there should also be a spec for 'long term' enclosure stability based on 'termite resistance'! Sorry . . . couldn't resist.

The questions are: 1. What thickness is considered "substatntial"? 2. What other types of wood are considered acceptable without flammability tests? 3. What do European Test Houses require from the flammability standpoint of wooden enclosures or internal wooden materials? Thanks Peter Merguerian Managing Director Product Testing Division I.T.L.
