ISO 19624:2018 PDF Download

ISO 19624:2018 standard outlines the procedures for grading bamboo culms for structural applications. The standard primarily focuses on visually and mechanically sorting round or pole bamboo based on observable characteristics and non-destructive measurements of properties.

Visual sorting involves evaluating the visual features of bamboo pieces to determine their grade. On the other hand, mechanical sorting utilizes non-destructive measurements of properties that correlate with grade-defining values.

It is important to note that this standard does not define or address acceptance criteria for the graded bamboo. It provides the procedures for grading but doesn't specify the criteria for determining whether the graded bamboo meets specific quality standards.

Additionally, this standard is applicable only for bamboo that has been seasoned, meaning that it has undergone a process to remove moisture and enhance its durability.
