Timber seasoning is the controlled process of reducing moisture content in wood. It aims to dry wood to around 22% moisture content. This makes the wood more stable and prevents defects like splitting or fungal/insect damage. There are two main seasoning methods - air seasoning which is slow and done outdoors, and kiln seasoning which is faster using controlled heat, humidity and air flow. Moisture content is measured using moisture meters or weighing samples before and after drying. Seasoning causes wood to shrink unevenly which can lead to cupping or shakes.
This document defines and classifies various defects that can occur in wood. It discusses defects caused by natural forces like knots, shakes, and twisted fibers.

- Definitions of timber, wood, and lumber
- Classification of trees as endogenous or exogenous
- Seasoning of timber through natural, kiln, chemical, or electric methods
- Common uses of timber in construction and manufacturing
- Defects in timber like heart shakes, star shakes, and knots
- Deterioration of timber through decay, insects, and fire
- Methods of preserving timber through oily and water-soluble preservatives applied by painting, dipping, or pressure processes
Timber comes from wood obtained from trees and is suitable for construction and other purposes. There are two main types of trees - exogenous and endogenous - with exogenous trees like conifers and deciduous trees most suitable for engineering. Timber has a macro structure visible to the eye like the pith, heartwood, and sapwood, as well as a micro structure only visible at high magnifications. Seasoning removes sap from fresh timber to make it stronger, lighter, and more durable. Common seasoning methods include natural, kiln, chemical and water seasoning. Timber is used widely in construction and manufacturing and can be preserved from damage using treatments like tar, paints, and chemical salts.

Product certification or product qualification is the process of certifying that a certain
product has passed performance tests and quality assurance tests, and meets
qualification criteria stipulated in contracts, regulations, or specifications (sometimes
called "certification schemes" in the product certification industry).
Most product certification bodies (or product certifiers) are accredited to or aligned with
ISO/IEC 17065 Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies certifying products,
processes and services (previously ISO/IEC Guide 65:1996) an international standard
for ensuring competence in those organizations performing product, process and service
certifications. The organizations that perform this accreditation are called Accreditation
Bodies, and they themselves are assessed by international peers against the ISO 17011
standard. In India Product certification is being monitored by BUREAU OF INDIAN
STANDARDS.
Examples of some certification schemes include the Safety Equipment Institute for
protective headgear, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) program for radio communication devices,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program, the International
Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment Product Safety
Certification Body Scheme (IEECE CB Scheme), MAS (Materials Analytical Services)
Certified Green IEQ program, and the Greenguard Environmental Institute Indoor Air
Quality program. Certification schemes are typically written to include both the
performance test methods that the product must be tested to, as well as the criteria that
the product must meet to become Certified.
The document discusses ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 standards. ISO 9000 defines quality management system requirements, while ISO 14000 addresses environmental management system requirements. Both standards use the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) model and aim to help organizations improve processes, increase customer satisfaction, and meet regulatory requirements through certified management systems.

This document discusses the antioxidant properties and cosmetic uses of various types of honey. It reviews the historical use of honey topically and in cosmetics. An experiment measured the hydrating power of emulsions containing six different honeys on human skin. The Brazilian pot-honey of Melipona fasciculata was found to have the highest polyphenol content and antioxidant activity by two methods. It also produced an emulsion with the highest measured hydrating power on skin. The polyphenol contents and antioxidant properties varied between honey types and were correlated with their hydrating abilities in emulsions applied to human skin.
This document reviews honey as a nutrient and functional food. It discusses honey's composition, nutritional value, and potential health benefits. Some key points:
1) Honey is composed mainly of carbohydrates (glucose and fructose), small amounts of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols. It provides a marginal contribution to daily nutrient requirements.
2) Different types of honey have varying glycemic indices depending on their fructose/glucose ratio, with some lower-GI honeys potentially beneficial for diabetes management.
3) Studies show honey may be an effective performance-enhancing carbohydrate source for athletes, though more research is still needed to confirm its benefits.
Honey has a long history of medicinal use dating back thousands of years. It was commonly used in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, Greek and Roman medicine to treat wounds, infections, and other ailments. Honey remains an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and the developing field of apitherapy. Specific types of honey are prescribed for certain conditions based on their properties. Honey is used internally and externally to treat infections, respiratory issues, digestive problems, wounds and more according to traditional medical systems.
Making Beeswax Candles, Polishes & Homemade Cosmetics - Part 1 v2zq
Beeswax has been used for thousands of years for a variety of purposes. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China, beeswax was used for mummification, paintings, seals, candles, and medicine. Throughout history, beeswax was crucial for lost wax casting techniques and was the main ingredient in encaustic painting. While beeswax was once the primary wax, the development of paraffin wax in the 19th century reduced its exclusivity, though it remains the most expensive natural wax. Beeswax is still used today in batik art, sculpture preservation, candle making, wood polishes, and leather treatments.
Making Beeswax Candles, Polishes & Homemade Cosmetics - Part 2 v2zq
Bees produce beeswax from their wax glands to build honeycomb cells. They produce the greatest amount of wax during colony growth in spring under moderate climate conditions. Beeswax is made from carbohydrates in honey through the wax glands on the bee's abdomen. Old honeycomb needs to be recycled and rendered into beeswax blocks to control wax moths and produce high quality wax. There are several methods for small-scale wax production including melting comb in boiling water or using sun melters to extract wax, which is then further purified. Proper processing and equipment are needed to produce quality beeswax and avoid defects from contamination, emulsions or darkening.
Pollen is described as the "perfectly complete food" and its nutritional value and medical uses have been praised for centuries. However, bee-collected pollen only began to be used widely for human nutrition after World War II with the development of pollen traps. Proper drying, storage, and processing are important to preserve pollen's quality and nutrients. Drying should be done at low temperatures, ideally below 30°C, to avoid vitamin losses. Freezing or freeze-drying pollen provides the best preservation of nutrients, though dried pollen can be stored for 1-2 years if kept cool, dry and dark. Standards have been proposed for pollen, including limits on moisture content and minimum levels of proteins
Using Bee Glue for Health, Medicine & Perfume v2zq
This document provides a review of the composition, history, and health benefits of propolis.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Section 1
Introduction and background to the Standard
Companies sign up to the standard by
providing information on their suppliers,
products and ingredients. The HCS has
been in use since 1996. It is the most
comprehensive standard a company can
adhere to in terms of removing animal
testing from its supply chain, as it operates
at an ingredient level.
The standard requires a company to:
No longer conduct or commission
animal testing
Apply a company fixed cut-off date (a
date after which none of your products
or ingredients have been animal
tested)
Be open to an independent audit
throughout your supply chain
Adhere to your animal testing policy
The Standard was developed by an
international coalition of animal protection
groups from across the European Union
and North America, including
European Coalition to End Animal
Experiments (ECEAE)
Coalition for Consumer Information on
Cosmetics (CCIC).
In the UK the Standard is managed by the
British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection
(BUAV). The BUAV also acts as secretariat
for the ECEAE.
1. What is the Humane Cosmetics Standard (HCS)?
The HCS is the only internationally recognised scheme that enables
consumers to easily identify and purchase cosmetic and toiletry products
that have not been tested on animals.

Summary of application and approval process
1. Collection of Information
The company applying for approval
collects all raw ingredient and product
information from their suppliers using
the forms provided. Application forms
should only be submitted for approval
after all information has been
obtained.
2 Processing Applications
Applications are reviewed on receipt
for all appropriate information. Where
necessary, additional information may
be sought from the company.
3 Company Approval
Companies that are approved will be
issued with notification of approval and
a contract to sign. We also provide
advice and discuss marketing and
promotional opportunities, working
with each company individually to
provide a complete service to help
launch the HCS.
4 Logo
Formal approval under the Standard will
be issued by the ECEAE. A copy of the
logo will be made available to the
approved company. Further guidance on
logo use can be found in Section 7 of
this document.
5 Independent Assessment - The Audit
Within six months of being granted
approval, the company’s Supplier
Monitoring System must be open to
independent assessment by a suitably
qualified auditor. An audit will take place
within 12 months of approval.
The auditor conducts the assessment
and sends the report to the company.
The company considers the results of
the assessment and implements new
procedures as necessary. If such
procedural changes are fundamental,
the company will be required to undergo
re-assessment. A copy of the auditor’s
report should then be sent to the ECEAE
member group. See Section 3 for
further information.
6 Renewal
Approval may be renewed on an annual
basis on the condition that the company
continues to meet the Standard’s criteria
for animal testing and its terms and
conditions.
A company may also wish to consider
gathering this information via their
purchase order system. In this case,
we request that any statements or
text to be used on Purchase Orders
should be sent to us for review and
approval.

current auditing system.
Full guidance, information and an agenda
explaining the details of the audit are
always sent to the company well in advance
of the audit date (which is also mutually
agreed in advance with the company).
The company will have the opportunity to
consider the results of the audit and
implement new procedures if necessary,
before the report is sent to the ECEAE
member group.
It should be emphasised that the audit,
whilst of course ensuring that a company
remains compliant with the standard, is
designed to help companies with any
supplier monitoring issues and answer any
questions they may have on managing the
Standard. Any findings or recommenda-
tions will be positively highlighted with full
guidance and assistance for future best
practice implementation.
The Auditor’s Checklist should be used to
perform the assessment (see page 19).
Section 3
Independent assessment approach - the audit
A suitably qualified auditor will conduct the independent assessment in strictest
confidence.
The audit is designed to
help companies with any supplier
monitoring issues and answer any
questions they may have on
managing the Standard.

i) A company’s Supplier Monitoring
System must be open to an
independent audit within six months of
the company gaining approval under
the Standard.
The audit will be carried out within 12
months of gaining approval and then
at least once every three years
thereafter.
ii) The audit evaluates compliance with
the Standard and ensures that a
company has effective policies and
procedures in place to monitor its
manufacturers and suppliers. This will
involve inspection of documentation
relating to the animal testing of
products and/or ingredients, and how
the company uses the monitoring
system to ensure that animal tested
ingredients are not used. This may be
a simple or a more complicated
system, depending on the size and
structure of the company.
iii) The assessment will be conducted
with professional confidentiality using
the Standard’s Independent
Assessment Approach and Auditor
Checklist.. Results will be the property
of the company but the assessor must
forward a report to the ECEAE to
confirm that the company continues to
meet the Standard’s criteria. Where a
breach of the criteria is found, the
company and auditor must notify the
ECEAE, by providing full details and
all relevant data and information
concerning the breach. The ECEAE
will then work with the company to
remedy the breach and provide
guidance on solutions available, to
ensure the company’s continued
approval under the Standard.
iv) A company that currently operates a
Supplier Monitoring System or other
quality assurance procedures should
contact us to discuss how the
Standard’s auditing requirements can
be incorporated into its current
approach.

protected animal" for the purposes of this Act means any living
vertebrate other than man and any invertebrate of the species Octopus
vulgaris from the stage of its development when it becomes capable of
independent feeding. (2) Any such vertebrate in its foetal, larval or em-
bryonic form is a protected animal only from the stage of its
development when - (a) in the case of a mammal, bird or reptile, half the
gestation or incubation period for the relevant species has elapsed; and
(b) in any other case, it becomes capable of independent feeding. *Also
included under this definition are cyclostomes (hagfish), cephalopods
(octupi and squid) and decapod crustaceans (lobsters, crabs and
prawns) as well as their foetal and larval forms, as recommended by
AHAW (Panel on Animal Health and Welfare) on behalf of the EFSA
(European Food Standards Agency) in their opinion on the animals that
should also be included in the revision of the European Directive
relating to laboratory animals (86/609/EEC). (The EFSA Journal (2005)
292, 1-46 - Opinion on the “Aspects of the biology and welfare of ani-
mals used for experimental and other scientific purposes”).
*Please note - it is acknowledged that the additional species listed here
do not relate to testing under the requirements of the HCS. However,
they are included to be consistent with the general BUAV definition of
an animal.

12 Supplier
Monitoring
System (SMS)
A system by which a Company monitors its Third Party
Manufacturers and Suppliers at least once a year (unless otherwise
agreed) to ensure that they have not conducted or commissioned
Animal Testing (tracing back to the original Manufacturer of the
Product and/or Ingredient). The system need not be complicated, but
it must be effective and open to an independent audit. Suppliers to be
monitored must include the original manufacturer of the Ingredient. A
company may also wish to include its FCOD on its purchase order
system to ensure the information is automatically gathered from
suppliers when purchasing new ingredients. A Company must not
use in its products any Ingredients that have been animal tested for
cosmetic product purposes by their suppliers or third party
manufacturers since the companies fixed cut-off date, even if the testing
was not commissioned by the company seeking approval. Agents or
Distributors may not sign the Declaration of Product/Raw Material
Compliance.
Exemption from implementing a Supplier Monitoring System
Only a company that manufactures products for which they grow all of
their own ingredients, or who purchase all ingredients from growers of
natural agricultural ingredients would be exempt. For example, the
manufacturers may grow herbs and flowers, and may purchase
bananas from a greengrocer. However, if the company uses ingredients
such as essential oils, stabilisers, preservatives or other additives that
are supplied by an ingredient manufacturer, they must indicate on the
application form that they do use suppliers. Companies who do not use
suppliers for any ingredients should confirm in writing that this is the
case.
13 Declaration of
Product/Raw
Material
Compliance
Written confirmation obtained by a Company once a year from all its
Third Party Manufacturers and Suppliers that they have not
performed Animal Testing for the Company’s products and
ingredients after the Company Fixed Cut Off Date. These
documents form part of the Company’s Supplier Monitoring System.
Equivalent documents may be used on the condition that they provide
at least the information requested on the Declarations.

The ‘Rabbit and Stars’ (Leaping Bunny) Logo
The Standard logo (‘the Logo’) is set out in
Annex 3 and is registered as a trademark in
the European Union and the United States
and Canada.
i) The Company may, on a non-
exclusive basis, apply the Logo to
corporate communications materials
(including those used in advertising
and point of sales) (‘the materials’)
and product packaging in the territory
provided that the materials and
packaging relate solely to the products
meeting the Standard.
ii) The Logo is to be used in a
combination of its official colours
(Pantone 2728 and black) wherever
possible. It is also acceptable to
reproduce it in one of these colours
alone or reproduce the logo in a single
colour reversed out. There should be
sufficient contrast between the
background and the Logo to ensure its
legibility.
iii) No alteration or addition is to be made
to the Logo.
iv) No drawing, symbol or words other
than “BUAV approved”; “ECEAE ap-
proved”;” Approved by [ECEAE
member organisation]”, e.g. “Approved
by BUAV”, “Approved by EDEV”; or
“Approved under the Humane Cos-
metics Standard”) is to be placed on or
adjacent to the Logo so as to suggest
that such drawing, symbol or words
are part of or associated with the
Logo, unless the written consent of the
Coalition is first obtained.
v) In this clause, ‘territory’ means
European Union, the United States of
America and Canada. The Coalition
may, on written application by the
Company, extend the territory on such
terms as it thinks fit.
vi) On termination of the agreement the
Company may no longer use the Logo
except to the extent necessary to
enable it to sell or otherwise dispose
of all stocks of the products then in its
possession (subject to a maximum
period of 90 days).

Guidance Notes
Vegetarian/Vegan Products &
Ingredients (Please refer to Section 5)
We welcome vegetarian and vegan
products under the Standard; however this
is not mandatory for approval under the
Standard.
These questions are included on the
declaration forms as an optional extra if
companies wish to provide this information
and be indicated on the Go Cruelty Free
website and Little Book of Cruelty Free as a
vegan or vegetarian company.
This can also prove a useful marketing
advantage for companies wishing to
promote their products to shoppers who
particularly seek vegetarian or vegan items.
(Please note: an entire range must be
declared vegan or vegetarian in order to be
indicated as such on the GCF website, to
avoid confusion to consumers.)
Product range approval
A Company must apply for approval to join
the Standard for its entire own label range
of Cosmetic Products. Individual products or
lines within a range cannot be approved as
this causes confusion for consumers and
conveys misleading information about the
standard.
The Standard works on the basis that a
company applies for approval in their own
country but are then approved worldwide.
Any companies who wish to apply for
approval in countries that do not currently
operate the HCS would be reviewed and
approved by the BUAV. Also, approval is
given on the basis of global accreditation
(For example, a company based in Holland
would go through the approval process
there but would be approved worldwide if its
products were available in other countries.)
Go Cruelty Free website and The Little
Book of Cruelty Free
Upon approval, a company has full rights to
use of the Rabbit and Stars (Leaping Bunny
Logo ) and will be added to the Go Cruelty
Free Website and Little Book of Cruelty
Free.
The Little Book of Cruelty Free is produced
for the UK - similar marketing materials may
apply in the country of the company
application and approval. Similarly,
websites profiling approved companies may
also operate in each country.
