Division 44     Manufacture of reconstituted wood‑based panels

                (a)    has a density of greater than 500 kg a cubic metre; and

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
