ABOUT WCLIB


History

The WCLIB was originally established as the West Coast Lumberman's Association when four small regional associations in the northwestern part of the U.S. joined forces in 1911. In 1923, the WCLA together with other regional lumber associations, formed the first national committee for lumber standardization under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Commerce. In 1941, the WCLA created a new division, The West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection, to enhance the identity of the grading and inspection services provided by the association. The name was later changed to the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau. In 1968, the WCLIB was formally incorporated as an independent organization when the promotional arm of the WCLA was disbanded.

The WCLIB is currently one of only seven organizations in the United States accredited by the American Lumber Standard Committee to write and promulgate lumber grading rules, and provide grade inspection and supervision services. The WCLIB is also accredited by the ALSC to provide heat treating inspection and supervisory services for manufacturers of wood pallets and crating.

The WCLIB provides grade inspection and supervision services to member mills in the western states, and throughout the continental U.S. and Europe. WCLIB has a total of approximately 190 member lumber mills plus 180 pallet and heat treating associate members. WCLIB is governed by a Board of Directors composed of twenty persons elected from the membership.
