This standard provides information on specific
nonpressure treated composite wood products, without the
use of trade names or manufacturers names. Products
listed in this standard are categorized using species or
species mix, preservative type, adhesive type,
manufacturing process and use class. All of these factors
play an integral role in determining the performance of the
finished product in specific applications. Users of this
standard are urged to consult closely with the
manufacturer of the treated composite to ensure it meets
the criteria listed in section 5 of this Standard, Tables 5.1.1
to 5.1.6.
To be listed in this Standard, manufacturers of
NPTC wood products must complete a data package and
have it evaluated and offered for ballot to Nonpressure
Subcommittee N-5, Composites. To prepare for this
process, candidates are directed to the procedures found in
the appendix of the AWPA Standards Book, titled
?Guidelines for the Evaluation of Non-Pressure Treated
Composite Lumber Products, for consideration by the
AWPA.? Successful completion of this process would
result in a listing in the Standards.
