About this guide

Providing an overview of standard timber products and the specifications commonly used to describe them, this booklet explains how dimensions, grading categories, and quality standards are defined and applied across different stages of the timber supply chain.

This guide is intended to improve clarity between producers, processors, and end users by outlining how consistent specification supports better communication, reduced waste, and more efficient use of timber resources.
