(1) [See tabled paper no.] Minor variations to these specifications apply to individual customers.
(2) No. The FPC works closely with sawmills to ensure common understanding of how the specifications are applied. These specifications, which were not developed by the Forest Products Commission (FPC) but by the timber industry through the Forest Industries Federation of WA, are designed to differentiate easily between grades and reduce confusion.
