tract specifications.

Before inspecting any treated wood products, the inspector must have in
his/her possession a copy of the contract specification requirements for
the treated wood. The specification will indicate whether the product
was purchased through the Federal Supply System at the Defense Con-
struction Supply Center (DCSC), through local purchase, or through a
construction or repair contractor. The specification will also tell the in-
spector the requirements for the species of wood, its intended use, pre-
servative treatment, special conditioning, Acceptable Quality Marks or
other brands. and (if appropriate) the class and/or grade of the product.
NOTE: If the materials are not inspected within 90 days of delivery, the
naval installation will lose the right to protest about the materials.
