Timber structures - Testing of joints made with mechanical fasteners - Requirements for timber density (ISO 8970:2020)
This document specifies a method based on density, for the selection of pieces of wood used in
determining the strength and stiffness properties of joints between members of structural timber
made with mechanical fasteners. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a test standard specifying
a test method.
It is assumed that the wood pieces are conditioned to the relevant conditions, that the wood density is
normally distributed and that any deviations are reported.
This document is applicable only to specimens of structural timber.
NOTE It is emphasized that the wood density is only one of the properties that can influence the strength of
a joint. Other relevant properties are, for example, growth-ring size and orientation, toughness and hardness.
Holzbauwerke - Prüfung von mechanischen Verbindungen - Anforderungen an die Rohdichte des Holzes (ISO 8970:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren fest, bei dem Holzstücke zur Bestimmung der Festigkeits und Steifigkeitseigenschaften von Verbindungen zwischen Holzelementen für tragende Zwecke mit mecha-nischen Verbindungsmitteln auf der Grundlage der Rohdichte ausgewählt werden. Die Anwendung ist zusammen mit einer Prüfnorm, die ein Prüfverfahren festlegt, vorgesehen.
Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass eine Konditionierung der Holzstücke bei den relevanten Bedingungen erfolgt, dass die Holzrohdichte normalverteilt ist und dass alle Abweichungen bekannt sind.
Dieses Dokument bezieht sich nur auf Probekörper aus Holz für tragende Zwecke.
ANMERKUNG Es wird besonders darauf hingewiesen, dass die Holzrohdichte nur eine der Eigenschaften ist, die die Tragfähigkeit einer Verbindung beeinflussen können. Andere diesbezügliche Eigenschaften sind z. B. Jahresringbreite und ausrichtung, Belastbarkeit und Härte.
Structures en bois - Essai sur assemblages réalisés par organes mécaniques - Exigences concernant la masse volumique du bois (ISO 8970:2020)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de prélèvement, basée sur la masse volumique, des pièces de bois utilisées pour déterminer les propriétés de résistance et de rigidité des assemblages d'éléments structuraux en bois réalisés par des organes mécaniques. Elle est destinée à être utilisée conjointement avec une norme d'essai spécifiant une méthode d'essai.
Il est supposé que les pièces de bois sont conditionnées conformément aux conditions applicables, que la masse volumique du bois est distribuée selon une loi normale et que tout écart est consigné.
Le présent document s'applique uniquement aux échantillons de bois de structure.
NOTE Il est souligné que la masse volumique du bois n'est qu'une des propriétés pouvant avoir une incidence sur la résistance d'un assemblage. D'autres propriétés concernées sont, par exemple, la taille et l'orientation des cernes de croissance, et la dureté.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see
www .iso .org/ iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 165, Timber structures, in collaboration
with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 124, Timber
structures, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8970:2010), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
In this edition the sampling method aims not only at ensuring that the selected pieces have a mean
[1]
density comparable to the wood to which the test result is intended to be applied , but also requiring
the coefficient of variation of the density to be reflected. Only then the characteristic value of the
[2]
strength determined by the test can be used directly .
If it is not possible to obtain wood with the target mean value and variation of the wood density, the
normative Annex A provides a correction method. The informative Annex B provides background to the
correction procedure.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.

Introduction
The sampling method given aims at ensuring that the selected pieces have a density distribution
comparable to the timber to which the test result is intended to be applied. When this is fulfilled, the
results can be used directly to determine the characteristic value of the strength parameter.
As it is often difficult to obtain a variation of the density similar to that allowed in a strength class, a
correction method is given to obtain a corrected coefficient of variation for the strength parameter.
It should be kept in mind that the effect of density on the load-bearing capacity of connections is in
many cases less significant than expected, and that many other parameters influence it.

4 Timber sampling method and requirements
4.1 General
The timber shall be at equilibrium at a relative humidity (RH) of (65 ± 5) % and a temperature of
(20 ± 2) °C at the time of testing. It shall be reported whether the timber wad dried or moistened during
the conditioning.
NOTE 1 The moisture content at equilibrium is lower when reached by moistening than if reached by drying,
which may affect the test results. The test standard might specify if the equilibrium condition should be reach
through drying.
The density shall be determined in accordance with ISO 13061-2 part 2 for the actual moisture content
