a) providing information on the supply and feedstock characteristics of wood chips,
b) providing technical guidance on bulk storage practices and safety considerations,
c) describing key fuel properties of wood chips in CAN/CSA-ISO 17725 Part 4, and
d) bringing common terminology and language to the marketplace.

1.2 The intended audiences for this guide include those involved in
a) producing and supplying wood chips, including aggregators, sawmills, loggers, urban tree services, woodland management services, value added wood processors such as furniture and cabinet makers, and flooring manufacturers,
