Intr01uction

In work on forest products statistics, industry and trade statistics, and inthe development of forestry and industry statistical systems, a system ofclassification and definitions is an essential component. In view of theinteraction between different systems - between trade and produc t Lon for exampleand between different countries and regions - it has been found desirable that acomprehensive classification and set of definitions should be available. Thisshould provide a reference for the development of new statistical systems and asource of clarification of the relationships between existing systems. Theclassification and definitions presented here are designed to 9rovide 'a broadreference which will be useful in relation to forestry and forest industryproduction, industry capacity and trade. They do not attempt to lay down strictspecifications such as might be found in national standards or in tra1e and tariffregulations, but they do aim to draw attention to the characteristics whichdifferentiate between items that are of practical importance in the different areasof the sector's activities, and to indicate aggregate and subdivisions of productsand materials that have practical significance.

Classification and Definitions of Forest Products (Advance version) waspublished as Supplement 6 to Volume XXV of the Timber Bulletin for Burope in Genevain 1973. This was the result of work of the Joint FAO/ECE Working Party on ForestEconomics and Statistics.

In 1979 this Working Party recommended that the classification should bebrought up to date to take account of revisions of the Standard International TradeClassification, the work of the Customs Cooperation ~ouncil on a harmonizedcommodity description and coding system, and to take account of changes intechnology, industry and trade practice and the appearance of new products. It wasalso recommended that this revision should ensure that the needs of all regions ofthe world are accommodated.

The Fl\.O Forestry Department in Rome and the .Joint FAO/BCE Agriculture andTimber Division in Geneva carried out the revision with the assistance ofconsultants in a number of develojJing countries and with the advice of the Fl\.OCommittee on '>lood-Based Panel Products and the Fl\.O l\.dvisory Committee on Pulp andPaper. The draft was circulated to Forest Services, to members of the twocommittees, to ISO and to other expert bod i.e s , before consideration by an ad hocmeeting in March 1981 and the thirteenth session of the Joint Fl\.O/BCE Working Partyon Forest Economics and Statistics in June 1981.

FAO is pUblishing an Bnglish/French/Spanish/Arabic edition of theclassification and definitions, which also includes complete texts of the relevantsections of the other international c Lass i f i c a t Lons to which cross-references aresupplied.

Criteria of classification

One basic purpose of the classification system for f0rest products is toimprove comparability of statistics of different types collected from a wide rangeof sources.

In addition, it is envisaged as providing:

( a). ,.'a basIs for statistical collection procedures involving such data as

production, stocks, international trade and production capacity;

(b) a framework for compilation and presentation of statistics;

(c) aggregates and elements for analyses such as those of production relation­ships, trade patterns, utilization of materials, and commodity balances;

(d) a set of elements (or building blocks) suitable for rearrangement o~

expansion for special studies .or for special purpose classification systems;

(e) a basis for design of computer programmes for processing, storage, retrievaland analytical manipulation of data on forest products.

Attention is also drawn to the need for general classification of forestproducts to assist in world-wide activities in the forest and forest productssector.

Considerations incorporated in the formulation of subdivisions in theexisting classification include:

- chief'component material- stage of manufacture- technology applied in production- purpose or intended use.

So far as possible, each group is confined to only one stage of manufacture i.e.

- crude materials- products of first processing- products of further processing.

An important consideration in the present reV1Slon is the harmonization withthe major international classification. Shown with the classification is the crossreference to major international classification systems, namely;

It should be noted that the headings of the present classification do not coincideexactly with those of any of the above-mentioned classifications. Thecross-references are therefore indications of some degree of coincidence betweenthe two classifications, not of a one-to-one correspondence.

Coding,

The classification is supported by a unique numer ical reference to eachelement and aggregate. The decimal ordering initially adopted relates consistentlyto the characteristics used to identify subdivisions, namely stage of manufacture,chief component mater~l, technology applied and intended use. The order in whichthese characteristics are treated is not uniform throughout the system. The codingsystem appears capable of conversion to one which would simplify aggregation acrosscharacteristics and facilitate the introduction of finer subdivision where this wasrequired for a particular application.

- 3 -Coverage

This classification of forest products is designed to cover the wood and wood-based products for which FAO and ECE collect statistics on a regular basis. Included is wood taken from forests or from trees outside the forest, bark and cork; charcoal; wood and wood-based materials resulting from the first processing of the wood available from forest operations (including sawnwood, railway sleepers, veneer sheets, wood pulp and wood residues); and materials resulting from further processing of some of these materials (e.g. wood-based panels, paper and paperboard); waste paper and recoverable wood products. Manufactured articles of wood and paper (as opposed to materials) are excluded as outside the regular data collection programmes of FAO and ECE.

This classification does not attempt to cover non-wood forest products such as small ornamental trees cut for special purposes; nuts, berries, seeds, roots, or other parts of .plants gathered in forest areas; gums, balsams, lacs, etc.; wood derivatives such as turpentine, tall oil, sulphite dye and other chemicals. Forestry operations and services such as reforestation, forest protection (including fire protection and fire fighting) are also excluded, along with other forest-based activities such as protection and management of watersheds, of forest wildlife and of forest recreational areas.

Detailed examination of the categories for forest products will reveal coverage of some non-wood materials. This illustrates one kind of compromise that inevitably arises in a multi-purpose classification system. The present classification is concerned with materials of wood and those based upon wood. If it '.-lere designed with one purpose in view (e.g. the collection of customs duties) its coverage could be confined strictly to materials of wood by an appropriate set of rules based upon identification of the constituent commodities according to a physical characteristic, 1. e. those composed of wood. However, when the classification system is to be used also for statistics of production, international trade, industrial capacity, etc., as well as in analyses involving data from a variety of sources, the rules governing definition of content must take account not only of material content in commodities, but of their relationships in production, and their relationships in use. Some materials containing wood but not composed entirely of wood and other materials made from wood-like substances have the same uses as, and may be produced in conjunction with, wood or wood-based materials. Thus, two of the broad groups in the present classification contain some materials of non-wood composition, Le. the group which includes panels similar to those based on wood but composed of other ligna-cellulosic materials or containing mineral binders; and the group which contains pulp made from non-wood fibrous vegetable materials as well as waste paper. In all these cases, however, separate classes are provided for the products of non-wood materials.

The primary groupings adopted are the following:

(1) Wood in the rough (2) Residues of wood processing; recoverable wood products (3) Wood chips and particles (4) Wood simply worked or processed (5) Wood sawn lengthwise; veneer sheets (6) Wood-based panels (including similar panels from other ligna-cellulosic

materials); (7) Pulp of wood, other fibrous ligna-cellulosic materials and pulp of waste

paper (8) Paper ~nd paperboard (9) waste/paper

(10) Raw, semi-processed and worked cork.

NOTES ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF FOREST PRODUCTS

The groups incover each principalthe manufacture ofconversion. It takesoperation may be used

this classification of forest products have been selected tostage of of operatio~ from the initial felling of the tree tothe primary product suitable for consumption or furtherinto account the fact that the by-~roducts from one stage ofas the raw material for another.

1. Wood in the rough

This group is intended to provide a first approximation to a measure of theforest harvest taken in a period. Though it covers all wood raw material,statistical records may omit wood chips and particles obtained from wood in therough, which are included in a SUbsequent group, where the first record of rawmaterial input is of the chips produced.

The basic subdivision adopted for the classification in this group are:

(a) coniferous or non-coniferous,

(b) form of raw material, i.e. logs, wood in the rough other thanlogs from main stem and branches, other wood and tree biomass,

(c) primary purpose or intended use, e.g. for sawnwood, sleepers,pulp, wood-based panels, energy, etc.

Other wood and tree biomass is further subdivided into that from tops,stumps and roots, branches, etc. The increasing importance of this latter item,due to advances in logging and processing techniques, is thus recognized.

The separation between coniferous and non-coniferous takes account of thefact that, especially in removal and utilization statistics, this distinction maybe easier to make and is often more important than th3t between assortments of woodin the round. Of comparable importance from the point of view of utilizationstatistics are the fourth and fifth digit details of wood from main stem andbranches,· i.e. for sawnwood, for veneer sheets, etc. Developments in logging andutilization make it increasingly difficult to categorize assortments according totraditional terminology - sawlogs, pulpwood, fuelwood - and particularly difficultto lay down generally applicable specifications. On the other hand, it has to berecognized that, in particular markets, size and quality limits are specified andapplied and that substantial quantities may be identified by those specifications.

2. Residues of wood processing; recoverable wood products

This group, like group 3, consists of wood which has passed through someform of processing but which also constitutes the raw material of a furtherprocess. The bases adopted for the classification in this group are:

(a) coniferous or non-coniferous~

(b) source·of material - processing residues or recoverable wood products;

(c) characteristics of material - for residues, solid wood or not of solidwood, for recoverable wood products, contaminated or uncontaminated;

(d) jend use, e.g. for pu Lp, particle board, e cc , , with a higher level~'distinction where appropriate between material for chipping and

material not for chipping.

- 5 -3. Wood chips and particles

This group covers intermediate products, which may be manufactured from anumber of sources (groups land 2) and have a great variety of uses. They areclassified by the following criteria:

(a) coniferous or non-coniferous;(b) source (wood in the rough, residues or recovered wood products);(c) end use, e.g. for pulp, particle board, etc.

4. Wood simply worked

This group includes

(a) pressure impregnated roundwood;(b) wood charcoal and other solid fuels manufactured from wood; and(c) other wood simply worked, such as staves shingles and shakes and wood

wool.

The subdivisions are:

(a) coniferous or non-coniferous;(b) process;(c) end product.

5. Wood sawn lengthwise; veneer sheets

This group covers the products of the simple processes of sawing anapeeling, with the associated processes of hewing, profile chipping and slicing.

The basic distinction, in addition to coniferous/non-coniferous are:

(a) for sawnwood, the degree and type of processing;(b) for veneer sheets, quality and end uses.

6. Wood-based panels (including similar panels from other ligno-cellulosicmaterials

various bases have been adopted for the classification of the main types ofproduct included in this group.

Plywood is categorized by:

(a) coniferous or non-coniferous;(b) type, e.g. veneer, core or other;(c) by finish, interior or exterior.

Particle board and fibreboard are distinguished by use in the ~anufacture of chipsor particles in the first, fibres in the second.

Particle board is categorized by component material, i.e. wood or other ligno­cellulosic mat:rial; by type of product or process; fibreboard mainly by type ofproduct and by process, and other panels by their component material and/orprocess, e.g. cement bonded, straw panels, composite board, etc.

7. Pulp of wood, other fibrous ligno-cellulosic materials and pUlp of wastepaper

This group is intended to cover the products of processing of the fibrousligno-cellulosic raW materials used principally in the manufacture of paper andpaperboard.

The bases of classification for wood pulp, other than dissolving grades,are:

(a) form of process, e.g. mechanical pUlp, sulphate pulp, etc.~

(b) degree of processing, e.g. bleached, unbleached:(c) coniferous or non-coniferous raw material.

In the case of dissolving pulp and non-wood pulp, the primary distinction is by rawmaterial, e.g. wood, straw, etc., and the secondary distinction (in the case ofdissolving pu~p) by form of process, e.g. sulphite, sulphate.

wood pulp rejects are not separately recorded. They are included with thepulps from which they derive.

I'I 8. Paper and paperboard

I, ,

I

",

This group covers the processing of wood and other pulps into paper andpaperboard. It excludes the conversion of paper and paperboard into products

The bases of the classifications in this group are:

(a) end use of product, e.g. newsprint, linerboard, etc.:(b) process, e.g. coated, uncoated:(c) furnish, e.g. wood containing, based on bleached chemical pulp.

Although paper is differentiated from paperboard in most cases, thedistinction is not made universally because no precise, generally acceptedcriterion has been adopted by all countries. Neither weight nor thickness criteriaare accepted generally, although certain regional groupings have adopted a rigidweight criterion for this purpose. It is recognized however that the technology inpapermaking is changing so rapidly and the situation with respect to substitutematerials is sufficiently fluid that rigid specifications of this kind are unlikelyto promote international comparability. The' products in most of the classes areknown, in any case, as either paper or paperboard, the number of mixed categoriesbeing few. In this document, the division between paper and paperboard has beentaken, where necessary, at 150 g/m2.

9. waste paper

In view of the increasing importance of waste paper as a raw material inputfor the pager, paperboard and other industries, it has been accorded a separategroup.

The classification groups waste paper by principal furnish, which is anindication ~f its end use or of the grade of pulp for which it may be substituted.

10. Raw, semi-processed and worked cork

The classification subdivides by the degree of processing and the form ofproduct.
