Timber certification for species identification, grading, application, and treatment.

A dedicated certification page for timber businesses that need credible product identity, grade confidence, treatment assurance, and clear end-use claims.

Timber scope

Certification that supports timber trade and application confidence.

Timber certification can help buyers, suppliers, contractors, and manufacturers document what the timber is, how it has been graded, whether it has been treated, and which applications it is suitable for.

  • Species declaration and batch identity for timber lots
  • Visual or documented grading for quality and market classification
  • Application-use certification for construction, furniture, packaging, joinery, and other timber uses
  • Treatment certification for preservative, anti-termite, seasoning, kiln drying, or other declared treatment processes
