information the processor knows that may indicate whether the raw logs are illegally logged; and
 (c) in the identification and assessment of that risk, consider the source, validity and reliability of the matters the processor considered under paragraph (b); and

Risk identification and assessment process for non‑certified raw logs
 (5) If the raw logs are not certified raw logs, the processor must, before processing the raw logs:
 (a) identify and assess the risk that the raw logs have been illegally logged; and
 (b) in the identification and assessment of that risk, consider:
 (i) the information the processor obtained under subsection (2); and
 (ii) any State specific guideline that relates to the raw logs; and
 (iii) the extent of illegal logging in general involving entities, known to the processor, in the supply chain for the raw logs; and
 (iv) the extent of illegal logging in general of the species or genus of tree from which the raw logs were derived; and
 (v) the conservation status (if any) of that species or genus, including if that species or genus is included in Appendix I, II or III to CITES; and
 (vi) the extent of illegal logging in general in the area in which the raw logs were harvested; and
 (vii) any other information the processor knows that may indicate whether the raw logs are illegally logged; and
 (c) in the identification and assessment of that risk, consider the source, validity and reliability of the matters the processor considered under paragraph (b); and
 (d) make a written record of the risk identification and assessment made by the processor.

Risk mitigation
 (7) The processor must, before processing raw logs:
 (a) conduct a risk mitigation process if:
 (i) the processor has identified a risk that the raw logs are illegally logged; and
 (ii) the risk is not a low risk; and
 (b) ensure that the risk mitigation process the processor conducts is reasonable and proportionate to the identified risk mentioned in paragraph (a); and
 (c) following the risk mitigation process, reassess the risk that the raw logs are illegally logged; and
 (d) make a written record of the risk mitigation process the processor conducted, including setting out:
 (i) following that process, the level of risk that the raw logs are illegally logged; and
 (ii) any further information the processor obtained as part of that process.
 (8) Without limiting subsection (7), the risk mitigation process may include the following steps:
