Three maior organizations team to solve the seemingly unsolvable standards snag

PROPOSED SIZES ARE:

These sizes are supposed to be modular to provide for resawability and also a size/moisture content relationship.

Three major softwood lumber grading rules writing agencies have endorsed a series of proposals aimed at strengthening, they said, American lumber standards for submission to the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) for inclusion in a revised softwood lumber standard.

The ALSC membership consists of manufacturers, distributors, users, engineers and government representatives appointed by the U. S. Department of Commerce under its voluntary standards program.

The WIVPA, WCLIB and the SPIB made the joint announcement following separate meetings of the governing bodies of these organizations.

In line with suggestions of consumer groups the three agencies have recomInended that the ALSC include in the new standard:

Sfory dI d Glclnce

Three of the biggies get together in an attempt to solve the standards deadlock. What they hope will do the trick is shown above.

(1) A schedule which relates size to moisture content.

(2) Technically sound basis for establishing uniform working stresses for lumber of the same species or groups of species.

(3) Establishment of a special committee by ALSC to develop national grading rules for dimension lumber.

The proposals also endorse strengthened enforcement of lumber standards and tle concept of mandatory grade marking o{ dimension lumber for the protection of the consumer.

Spokesmen for the three agencies claim that the proposed program would give lumber users the benefit of comparable use capabilities for unseasoned and seasoned lumber, grade simplification and a uniformly enforced labeling system.

Representatives of the three agencies presented the proposals to ALSC at a meeting scheduled for October 30. We will bring you details of that meeting in our next issue. Most industry observers contacted at deadline time were reluctant to forecast a possible early solution for the standards problem.

The Secretary of Commerce has termed the present standards, promulgated by the Department of Commerce in 1953, obsolete and technically inadequate.
