The process for defining and calculating warp percentage for the purposes of
assessment is as follows – when a warped board is laid on a level surface so as to
form a shallow arch, the maximum vertical deviation from the horizontal is expressed
as a percentage of the board dimension that forms the arch. Warp is assessed at
take-off, and thus excludes ‘post-warp’.
