When considering the conditions outlined (a pack date of 5 years or older and no certification mark), the specific requirement that does not need to be checked is the **moisture content**. This is typically because older materials that do not have certification may not meet present standards or requirements for moisture content, making it less critical to check against current specifications for further use or processing.
To clarify:
- **Bore hole size:** This may still be relevant for structural integrity or use in certain applications.
- **Presence of bark:** This could affect the quality or eligibility of wood products depending on regulations or standards.
- **Moisture content:** While still an important factor, it may be overlooked in this particular scenario given the age and lack of certification.
So, in this context, it can be said that moisture content does not need to be strictly checked, but the other factors might still warrant consideration depending on the specific use and regulation. However, be sure to verify against relevant standards as these interpretations can vary based on specific guidelines or regulations in effect at the time.
