 (8) Without limiting subsection (7), the risk mitigation process may include the following steps:
 (a) obtaining further information about the risk that the raw logs are illegally logged;
 (b) the use of scientific methods relating to timber identification in order to identify the scientific name of the tree from which the raw logs were derived and the area in which the raw logs were harvested.

Exception
 (9) Subsections (4) to (7) do not apply in relation to the processing of raw logs (the current logs) by a processor if:
 (a) the processor, in the previous 12 months, processed raw logs (the earlier logs); and
 (b) the processor complied with subsections (2) and (4) to (7), as applicable, in relation to the processing of the earlier logs; and
 (c) either:
 (i) the current logs and earlier logs are certified raw logs; or
 (ii) the current logs and earlier logs are not certified raw logs; and
 (d) the processor has obtained the information covered by paragraphs (2)(a) to (c) for the current logs and that information is the same as the information for the earlier logs; and
 (e) the processor:
 (i) has considered whether, since the processor complied with subsections (2) and (4) to (7), as applicable, in relation to the processing of the earlier logs, there has been a significant change in circumstances that has increased the risk that the current logs are illegally logged; and
 (ii) if the processor is satisfied that there has not been such a significant change in circumstances—has made a written record to that effect.

Record‑keeping
 (10) The processor must:
 (a) keep a record of the information the processor obtained under subsection (2) for the period of 5 years beginning on the day the raw logs are processed; and
 (b) keep the copy of the record referred to in paragraph (3)(a), and the sales or delivery document referred to in paragraph (3)(c), for the period of 5 years beginning on the day the raw logs are processed; and
 (c) keep the record referred to in paragraph (4)(d), (5)(d), (7)(d) or (9)(e) for the period of 5 years beginning on the day the raw logs are processed.
