BS ISO 22389-2:2020 PDF Download

BS ISO 22389-2:2020 is a standard that specifies the performance and manufacturing requirements for prefabricated wood-based I-beams used in bending applications. However, it should be noted that this standard does not cover fire performance, formaldehyde requirements, and biological durability.

The standard outlines the requirements for the manufacturing process, in-house quality assurance, and periodic re-evaluation of prefabricated wood-based I-beams. It also highlights that the I-beams tested under this standard are intended for use in covered conditions and with components that can withstand the effects of moisture on structural performance, but they should not be permanently exposed to the weather.

It is important to note that the service conditions specified in this standard are similar to "Service class 2" as defined in ISO 20152-1. The testing, evaluation, and performance characterization requirements for prefabricated wood-based I-beams are covered in ISO 22389-1.

Lastly, the standard does not cover all safety concerns associated with its use. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before utilizing this standard.
