2.5 Post Drying Processing Or Remanufacturing Requirements

Any post drying processing or remanufacturing will be documented. Any items in inventory prior to the implementation of the Standards that have been processed or remanufactured but information is lacking to meet full certification, must be entered into your inventory management system as a new lumber item with all interim certification required documentation, including the minimum source tree/log information requirements.

2.5.1 Location wood was processed will be documented (REQUIRED) To meet interim certification requirements, this information may not be available and will therefore not be required.

Documentation will include the following information:

• Company name
• Operator name (Optional)
• Company address
• Company phone number Company email (optional)

2.5.2 The distance traveled from the drying facility to the next location shall be documented. (REQUIRED) To meet interim certification requirements, this information may not be available and will therefore not be required.

2.5.3 Reprocessing/remanufacturing date will be documented. (REQUIRED) To meet interim certification requirements, this information may not be available and will therefore not be required.

2.5.4 Individually labeled and stocked items
Quantity, dimensions and cut type of each individual piece cut will be documented and each new item will be tagged. (i.e. cut type may change, or it may simply be surfaced S2S, S4S, etc., resizing boards, and if it was a cant or timber, it can be resawn into boards, edged, or remanufactured into molding, siding, bead board, baseboards, flooring, dowels, etc.) (REQUIRED)

• Regarding the tags, a new trackable tag or SKU is created for each new individual item to replace the previous tag. All previously collected information will be contained within the new tag or SKU.
• For interim certification, this may be the entry point of tagging an item. This new tag will contain interim certification requirements from section 2 Chain of Custody requirements for Urban & Salvaged Woods.

Board footage will be calculated and documented to assign a total board footage to each piece. (REQUIRED)

2.5.5 Bundled Units

Any merging of individual pieces or bundles or the splitting of bundled units into new or separate tracking units or bundles will be documented during the remanufacturing process. (REQUIRED)

• New bundled units, and the dimensions and cut types of each bundled unit will be documented.
  ! A new trackable tag or SKU will be created for the bundled unit to replace the previous tag. This new tag will contain all previously collected data.
  ! In order for a bundle to be qualified as USRW certified, all pieces merging into the bundle must meet all certification requirements.
• Any bundles that are being split will be documented as either new, or individual pieces, and re-tagged or new bundles and re-tagged.

Board footage will be calculated and documented to assign a total board footage to each bundle/unit or individual item if from a split bundle. (REQUIRED)
