3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Anti-stain treatment. When specified (see 6.2), all softwood lumber except western cedars and
redwood, and all hardwood lumber that is subject to staining (see 6.4) shall be anti-stain treated. The
treating solution shall be water based with the composition, concentration and application as specified by
the chemical manufacturer, and shall not appreciably change the color of the wood. Solutions containing
chlorinated phenols and mercury are not permitted.
3.2 Packing. Packing shall be level A, level B, or minimal as specified (see 6.2).
3.2.1 Level A.
3.2.1.1 Unit assembly. A unit shall contain only one thickness, width, and length of lumber except as
otherwise specified herein. When lumber is ordered in random widths, more than one width may be
included in a unit. To complete loading of remnant quantities of a shipment, a maximum of three different
lengths may be combined in a unit. When two or more lengths are included in a unit, the longest length
shall be on the bottom of the unit with the next longer lengths on top of the longest. The unit shall be
straight and even on the bottom, sides and at least one end. Pieces shall not be butted end-to-end in any
unit (see figure 1).
3.2.1.2 Unit size. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), individual units shall not exceed 47-1/2
(47.50) inches in width and 25-3/4 (25.75) inches in height. For domestic shipment only, the unit height
may extend to 49 inches (see figure 1). For unit loads prepared for containerization, the maximum
allowable width shall be as specified by the containerizing activity, or 45 inches if not specified.
3.2.1.3 Strapping. Strapping shall be applied girthwise to the unit and tensioned to minimize all voids
within the unit to the maximum extent possible. On units 6 feet long or less, end straps shall be located 1
foot from each end ± 4 inches. On units over 6 feet long, end straps shall be located 2 feet from each end
± 4 inches. Intermediate straps shall be applied so that adjacent straps are not more than six feet apart.
When a unit is composed of different lengths and none of the intermediate straps are located within 16
inches from the free end of any one piece of lumber, then additional strapping shall be applied within 16
