O302.1-09
Scaling roundwood

Scope

1.1
This Standard specifies minimum requirements for scaling roundwood in SI (metric) units and covers processes for quality and quantification assurance.
Note: Requirements on measuring and estimating quantities of wood chips, tree residues, and by-products are specified in CSA O302.2.

1.2
This Standard is intended for individuals or agencies charged with scaling and check scaling of primary forest products in Canada.

1.3
In CSA Standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and "can" is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
