The publisher’s words
The publisher lets each reader see 6 of this document’s clauses a day when signed in, or 5 without signing in.
This is the publisher’s condition for Klar Cite showing its words; the limits, the citation and everything else on this page are free to read. Showing the wording counts one clause.
How it is proven

- The applicant shall provide either: (i) A declaration from the wood-based panel manufacturer that no recycled wood fibres were used in the panel, or (ii) A declaration from the wood-based panel manufacturer that all recycled wood fibres used have been representatively tested in accordance with the 2002 ‘EPF Standard conditions for the delivery of recycled wood’, supported by appropriate test reports that demonstrate compliance of the recycled wood samples with the limits specified in Table 3. (iii) A declaration from the wood-based panel manufacturer that all recycled wood fibres used have been representatively tested by other equivalent standards that have equal or stricter limits than the 2002 ‘EPF Standard conditions for the delivery of recycled wood’, supported by appropriate test reports that demonstrate compliance of the recycled wood samples with the limits specified in Table 3. 3
