ISO 10984-2:2009 PDF Download

ISO 10984-2:2009 is a standard that outlines laboratory methods to determine the embedding strength of different types of wood products using dowel-type fasteners. The standard covers solid timber, glued laminated timber, and wood-based sheet products. Embedding strength refers to the ability of these materials to resist the compressive forces applied by dowel-type fasteners such as nails and bolts.

The standard provides detailed guidelines on the testing procedures for determining the embedding strength. This includes specifying the test setup, preparation of the test specimens, and the application of the compressive forces. The tests are conducted in a laboratory environment to ensure accuracy and consistency of the results.

The standard also includes descriptors that aid in the identification and categorization of the materials under test. This includes terms such as timber construction, fasteners, nails, bolts, compression tests, determination, and compressive strength. These descriptors provide a common language and help in the interpretation of the standard.
