(b) are of saleable quality

Specified Template means the table template located at www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation

(2) Activity means the physical and chemical transformation of wood particles (such as wood flakes, chips, shavings, sawdust and strands) and adhesives (such as resins) into reconstituted wood panels (such as particleboard, fibreboard, strandboard and/or Triboard), where the outputs of this activity are reconstituted wood panels, with a density of greater than 400 kg/m³ and the individual wood particles must have no dimension greater than 100 mm.

(3) Saleable has its ordinary meaning as understood by participants in the relevant market, subject to subclauses (a) to (d):

(a) Saleable is an output produced to a level at which it would ordinarily be considered by participants in the relevant market:
