Grading Rules Now Online in Full-Size Format

(More news)

The online version of NELMA’s 2006 Standard Grading Rules for Northeastern Lumber has been re-formatted to full-page size PDF files to maximize viewing and printing of the book. The information remains divided into the twelve primary sections and incorporates the latest Supplement No. 1 for Eastern White Pine that became effective June 15, 2008 (Section 3 of the Rules).

The Association is proud to be the first lumber rules writing agency in North America to place their entire grading rules document online, back in 2004.  The full-page enhancement will further assist the NELMA lumber manufacturing members and their customers access this important lumber grading reference information via the website.
 
The Grade Rules may be found at www.nelma.org  under the “Reference” tab. Click here to view the new formatted edition.
