Timber Structures: Calculation and Verification of Characteristic Values
Also Known As:
BS EN 14358:2016 is a standard that provides principles and methods for the calculation and verification of characteristic values for timber structures. It introduces parametric methods for determining lower and upper 5-percentiles, where the upper 5-percentile represents the 95-percentile.
This standard is applicable to any structural product in the context of type testing and factory production control. However, it does not cover the topic of sampling, instead referring to the relevant product standards for guidance in this area.
In addition to calculation and verification, the standard also outlines an acceptance procedure for verifying a lot. Depending on the specific product, the characteristic values determined using this standard can be used directly or may require additional adjustments specified in the relevant product standards. For instance, in the case of solid timber, specific adjustment factors for calculating characteristic values are provided in EN 384.
