This section is designed for USRW businesses, makers, woodworkers, artisans, contractors, designers, architects, or builders wishing to maintain USRW Certification for their final products, designs or builds.

Documentation will include the following information:

• Company name
• Maker, woodworker, artisan, contractor, designer, architect, or builder name
• Company address
• Company phone number
• Company email (optional)

4.2 The maker, woodworker, artisan, contractor, designer, architect, or builder will document all USRW certified items being utilized for their project and create a project bill of materials and a new tag or certificate for the final product or installation. Included will be all information related to each piece of USRW certified wood that is used in said project and the percentage of USRW certified wood used in the total product/project. Points will be awarded based on the percentage of USRW certified wood used in the total product/project. (REQUIRED)

• 100% (100 pts)
• 90+%  (80 pts)
• 75-89%  (60 pts)
• 50-74%  (40 pts)
• 25-49%  (30 pts)
• 10-24%  (20 pts)
• 1-9% (10 pts)

4.3 Description of the final product or placement will be documented. (i.e. Table, Chair,
Bowl, The Empire State Building, etc.) (REQUIRED)

4.4 For the contractor, designer, architect, or builder, when the lumber is relocated to a professional building or project by either being sold, installed, or made into a final project, the new information will be documented. (REQUIRED) (Not required for personal residential projects)

• New location Name, if applicable,
• New location Address, and
• New location Phone Number, optional.

4.5 Any distance traveled to additional processing or wholesale/retail locations and the final installation location on build projects shall be documented. (REQUIRED) To meet interim certification requirements, distance traveled may not be available and will therefore not be required

4.6 The overall distance traveled will be calculated from point of origin to the most distant point in the production to installation process. Distance is measured by direct line, not actual road miles. When wood has traveled less than 500 miles from point of origin to its final destination, it may be labeled as ‘Local Wood’. (May include mileage from sections 2.1.4, 2.2.12, 2.3.2, 2.4.2, 2.5.2, 3.6 and 4.5). (REQUIRED) To meet interim certification requirements, distance traveled may not be available and will therefore not be required.

• Total distance 0 – 125 miles (50 pts)
• Total distance 126 – 250 miles (40 pts)
• Total distance 251- 325 miles (30 pts)
• Total distance 326 – 500 miles (20 pts)
• Total distance > 500 miles (10 pt.)
  

4.7 The final product will have chain of custody information available to the consumer following the labeling rules described in section 5 – Labeling: Application of USRW Labels on Products for Sale. This may be by actual tag, label, or certificate. (REQUIRED).

This section is a way that urban wood owners who manage large populations of trees, can proactively plan to best utilize their urban trees when they need to be removed. This does not apply to individual homeowners (See Appendix C for Example).
