So what does this mean , that any timber used now is uncertified , looks very subjective to me .

What happens next , uncertify timber that has already been used on projects ?

Hello,

I don't think that any timber already used on projects will become uncertified all of a sudden.

This is likely guidance going forward.

So something decent one day becomes useless the next . i am perplexed as to why tbh . trying to keep open mind but my logical mind is struggling, How do certification criteria change if the product is the same .

@et2020

Although it looks that way to you, TTF are not changing certification requirements. They are simply classifying Russian and Belarusian timber as Conflict Timber, which means it is originating from a war zone.

This should help with confusion about whether the timber is certified or not
