### Division 44—Manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels
344 (1) The manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels is the physical and chemical transformation of wood, including wood particles and residues (such as chips, shavings and sawdust) into a reconstituted wood‑based panel that:
(a) has a density of greater than 500 kg a cubic metre; and
(b) has individual wood particles or fibres with an average maximum dimension of no more than 30 mm.
> Note: Examples of reconstituted wood‑based panels are particleboard and medium density fibreboard.
(2) The manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) The manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels is a moderately emissions‑intensive activity.
(4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units for the manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels is by a tonne of raw reconstituted wood‑based panel that:
(a) has a density of greater than 500 kg a cubic metre; and
(b) has individual wood particles or fibres with an average maximum dimension of no more than 30 mm; and
(c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(d) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
