The Service Provider Directory (SPD) is a system designed to help anyone in need of wood identification services to find information on available scientific methods and capable laboratories. Finding the right laboratory depends on different parameters. Case-defining parameters are:
- tree species,
- geographical origin,
- product type (logs, lumber, furniture, fibre board, paper and charcoal)
- specific objective (screening, court case)
How could I use the SPD to verify the species and origin of a wood product?
- Define your wood identification question
- Sort out the list of available labs
- Contact the lab of your choice to proceed with the test
