Introduction
Machine grading is in common use in a number of countries. The countries use two basic systems,
referred to as ‘output control’ and ‘machine control’. Both systems require a visual override inspection to
cater for strength-reducing characteristics that are not automatically sensed by the machine.
The output control system is suitable for use where the grading machines are situated in sawmills grading
limited sizes, species and grades in repeated production runs of around one working shift or more. This
enables the system to be controlled by testing timber specimens from the daily output.
These tests together with statistical procedures are used to monitor and adjust the machine settings to
maintain the required strength properties for each strength class. With this system, it is permissible for
machine approval requirements to be less demanding and for machines of the same type to have
nonidentical performance.
The machine control system was developed in Europe. Because of the large number of sizes, species and
grades used, it was not possible to carry out quality-control tests on timber specimens drawn from
production. The system relies therefore on the machines being strictly assessed and controlled, and on
considerable research effort to derive the machines settings, which remain constant for all machines of
the same type.
The acceptability of grading machines and the derivation of settings rely on statistical procedures and
the results will therefore depend on the method used. For this reason, this document gives appropriate
statistical procedures.
The requirements in this document are based on machines in current use and on future types of machines
as far as these can be foreseen. It is recognized that additional clauses or standards might be required if
unforeseen developments take place.

3.1
production batch
one production run where the timber of one source, grade or grade combination, species or species
combination and size is graded using the same settings
4 Requirements for the operation, calibration and maintenance of a grading
machine
4.1 No modifications that are in conflict with the machine manufacturer’s specification shall be made
to the machine.
4.2 Access to all machine adjustments shall be limited to personnel authorized to operate or set up the
machine.
4.3 The strength grading machine shall be regularly calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's
specification.
4.4 A strength grading machine shall only be fitted with spare parts equivalent to, or improving upon,
the performance of those fitted at the time the machine was assessed by initial type testing. If spare parts
are fitted that are not identical to those fitted at the time the machine was assessed by initial type testing,
the machine shall be reassessed to establish their effect on grading accuracy.
4.5 The details of routine service and maintenance to the strength-grading machine and ancillary
equipment shall be recorded together with the results of calibration checks.
5 Additional requirements for factory production control for machine control
systems
5.1 General
When grading structural timber in a machine control system, grading accuracy shall be monitored. A
grading machine’s dynamic performance shall be controlled by the use of control planks using the
procedures given in Annex A.
5.2 Additional testing requirements
This clause applies to bending strength classes with a characteristic bending strength level above
2 2
30 N/mm and for tension strength classes with a characteristic tension strength level above 21 N/mm .
These requirements only apply to softwoods. For hardwoods, specific requirements shall be established
within the factory production control.
During each working shift, two pieces of timber from each grade produced shall be randomly selected
and tested according to the strength class definition and EN 408. The fifth percentile value, determined
by ranking, of the last 100 strength values from 50 consecutive shifts shall meet t
