ISO 15206:2010 PDF Download

ISO 15206:2010 is a standard that sets out the basic requirements and test methods for timber poles used in telecommunications and electrical distribution. The standard covers both preservative treated and untreated poles, and considers their performance under cantilever or compression loading.

The standard specifies methods for measuring the sizes of solid wood poles, including permissible deviations for acceptance. It also addresses requirements for handling, visual strength grading of both softwood and hardwood poles, and marking requirements.

Additionally, ISO 15206:2010 outlines test methods for determining characteristic values such as modulus of elasticity, bending strength, and moisture content of wood poles. Furthermore, it provides guidelines for durability and preservative treatment of timber poles. This standard is applicable to both softwood and hardwood poles.
