European foreword
This document (EN 14081-2:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124 “Timber
structures”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document will supersede EN 14081-2:2010+A1:2012.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
Compared to EN 14081-2:2010+A1:2012, the following main modifications have been made:
— new definitions added in Clause 3;
— new requirements for sampling, settings areas and minimum cross-section area;
— introduction of standardized areas;
— method for deriving settings is no longer normative, since several methods may be used; an example
of a method is given in Annex B;
— new method for verification of settings;
— cost matrix requirements are changed, to better allow settings that aim for reduced reject rather than
yield in the highest grade;
— new method for output control systems;
— introduction of adaptive settings;
— introduction of fixed settings.
This standard is part of a series of standards on Timber structures — Strength graded structural timber
with rectangular cross section ("EN 14081") that includes:
— Part 1: General requirements;
— Part 2: Machine grading; additional requirements for type testing;
— Part 3: Machine grading; additional requirements for factory production control.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,

Introduction
Machine grading is in common use in a number of countries. There are two basic systems, referred to as
“output control” and “machine control”. Both systems require a visual override inspection to cater for
performance 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
