Timber Fasteners: Specifications for Connectors for Timbers
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 912 standard provides specifications for connectors used in joints between members in loadbearing timber structures. The standard focuses on defining the dimensions and materials of these connectors. It ensures that the connectors meet specific requirements for strength and deformation properties.
While the standard does not provide specific data on the strength and deformation properties of joints made with these connectors, it references another standard, EN 13271, which does. This suggests that DIN EN 912 serves as a companion standard to EN 13271, providing the necessary specifications for the connectors used in the joints.
By defining the dimensions and materials of the connectors, the standard aims to ensure that they are suitable for use in timber structures and capable of withstanding the required loads. Compliance with DIN EN 912 helps to ensure the safety and reliability of timber structures and aids in the standardization of timber construction practices.
