- Material selection: evaluating the selection of raw materials, such as wood species and grades, to ensure they meet the required standards for strength, durability, and resistance to decay.
- Manufacturing processes: examining the manufacturing processes, including cutting, drying, and finishing, to ensure consistent product quality and adherence to industry standards.
- Testing and inspection: establishing requirements for testing and inspection procedures to verify that the finished products meet the specified performance criteria, such as dimensions, moisture content, and resistance to wind and fire.
- Labeling and certification: requiring manufacturers to label their products with essential information, such as species, grade, and compliance with applicable standards, and to maintain records of quality control testing and inspection.
