Such brand shall be in block letters not less than 10 mm high and numerals and letters shall be displayed in the Arabic style. As an example, material treated to Commodity Specifications C3 at plant number 700 will be branded 700 C3 or 700 C3.

1.4 Surface Brand—Means a brand placed on the face, back, or edge of machined treated timber by incising or branding with a permanent ink approved by the Authority. Such brand shall embody the words “TREATED” together with, as a minimum, the number or trade name approved by the Authority for the organisation performing the branding and may include the type of treatment and other information.
