American Lumber Standards Committee

The American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) is a national organization that sets quality and grade standards for American produced lumber. It ensures that wood products meet consistent criteria for strength, size, and durability, which helps builders, suppliers, and consumers trust the quality of the lumber they purchase. The ALSC works with industry experts to develop and maintain these standards, and it oversees certification programs that verify lumber compliance. Overall, it plays a key role in maintaining safety and quality in the construction industry by promoting reliable and uniform wood products across the United States.
