PURSUANT to regulation 12 of the Timber Preservation Regulations 1955*, the Timber Preservation Authority hereby gives notice that, subject to the exemptions provided herein, timber which has been preservative treated as provided in the said regulations shall be clearly branded or identified in the manner herein described.

1. End Branding—All preservative-treated timber shall be branded on or at one end with a clearly legible brand in block letters not less than ⅜ in. high. The brand shall include the registered number of the plant allocated by the Timber Preservation Authority. Timbers exempt from this requirement are:

(a) Fence battens or droppers;
(b) Timber in sizes 2 in. by 1 in. section and less;
(c) Timber to be treated to Commodity Specification C.8 (Low Hazard Building Timbers) which is to be dressed or planer-gauged and branded in accordance with clause 4 at or adjacent to the treatment plant at which it is treated.

2. Commodity Branding—(1) In the case of timber for use in contact with sea water, to comply with TPA Commodity Specification C.1, an additional brand in the form of an “S” is to be placed immediately after the plant number as required in clause 1 above.

(2) In the case of timber treated for ground contact use, to comply with TPA Commodity Specifications C.2 and C.3, an additional brand in the form of an “X” is to be placed immediately after the plant number as required in clause 1 above.

(3) In the case of timber treated for use as exterior joinery, to comply with TPA Commodity Specification C.6, an additional brand in the form of a “J” is to be placed immediately after the plant number as required in clause 1 above.

(4) In the case of timber treated for building timbers in high decay hazard situations, to comply with TPA Commodity Specification C.7, an additional brand in the form of an “H” is to be placed immediately after the plant number as required in clause 1 above.

(5) In the case of timber treated for use as beehive timbers, to comply with TPA Specification C.9, an additional brand in the form of a “B” is to be placed immediately after the plant number as required in clause 1 above.

3. Colouring—Each piece of timber treated with a preservative which does not colour the timber shall have its surfaces coloured by a colouring material, approved by the Authority, added to the treating solution.

4. Face Branding—(1) All surface branding shall be incised or branded with a permanent ink approved by the Authority and shall be in block letters not less than ⅜ in. high embodying the word “TREATED” together with, as a minimum, the number or trade name approved by the Authority for the organisation performing this branding and may include the type of treatment and other information.

(2) (a) All scantlings and framing timbers which are dressed or planer-gauged on all four surfaces shall be continuously branded on at least one face except where a clear face is required on all four sides, when a clear, legible end brand will suffice as required in clause 1 above.

(b) All scantlings and framing timbers which are dressed or planer-gauged on less than four surfaces shall be end-branded in accordance with clause 1 above.

(3) All weatherboards and floorings shall be continuously branded on the back of the board.

(4) All other dressed lines shall be either—
(a) Continuously surface branded; or
(b) Surface branded within 6 in. of the end; or
(c) End branded as required in clauses 1 and 2 above.

(5) Timbers shall be exempt from this requirement when they are in sizes of 2 in. by 1 in. section and less.

5. Posts, Poles, and Piles—All posts, poles, and piles shall be branded with an incised brand on one end or with a disc approved by the Authority and fixed above ground line.

6. Dispensations—Notwithstanding anything in the provisions of this notice, the Authority may, if it thinks fit in special circumstances, grant dispensation from any of the foregoing provisions.

7. Effective Date—The provisions of this notice shall come into force on the day after the date of its publication in the Gazette.

8. Previous Notice Cancelled—The previous notice, published in the Gazette, 14 October 1971, is hereby revoked.
