J ntroducing the CheckMarkrM Quality Assurance tIldentification Program for treated wood.

To meet the strict requirements of the Uniform Building Code, treated wood must be identified by the quality mark of an accredited American Lumber Standaxd Committee inspection agency. In the West, five agencies are authorized under the ALSC Treated Wood Program to inspect beated wood. Each agency has their own unique mark and it often is located in different positions on the stamp or end-tag. It isn't easy for code officials, building materials dealers or contractors to recognize or find. But, not any longer.

Starting in 1999, to frnd the inspection agency's quality mark, simply look for the CheckMark. Whether the mark is on the stamp or the front or back of the tag, now it is easy to find. To be sure treated wood meets UBC requirements, JUST CHECK FOR IT.
