Standard EN Sample
Timber Structures: Testing of Joints Made with Mechanical Fasteners - Requirements for Timber Density
Also Known As:
BS EN ISO 8970:2020 is a standard that provides requirements for determining the density of timber used in testing joints made with mechanical fasteners in timber structures. The method described in this standard is based on density and is intended to be used in conjunction with a specific test method.
The standard assumes that the wood pieces used in the testing are conditioned to the appropriate conditions and that the wood density follows a normal distribution. Any deviations from this assumption should be reported.
It is important to note that this standard is applicable only to specimens of structural timber. The density of wood is just one of the properties that can impact the strength of a joint. Other factors such as growth-ring size and orientation, toughness, and hardness are also relevant.
