General Information
Overview
EN 1309-1:1997 - Round and sawn timber: Method of measurement of dimensions - Part 1: Sawn timber (CEN) specifies standardized methods for measuring the dimensions of sawn timber. The standard applies to both hardwood and softwood sawn timber, whether square edged or unedged, and explicitly excludes tropical timber. It provides a consistent framework to ensure dimension measurement is repeatable and comparable across suppliers, processors and users.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Measurement methods for sawn (cut) timber; hardwood and softwood; square edged and unedged; tropical timber excluded.
- Measurement principles: Standardized procedures to determine primary dimensions (length, width/width equivalents, thickness) and how to treat edged vs. unedged pieces.
- Units and expression: Rules for expressing measured results (units, rounding or significant figures) to ensure clarity and interoperability.
- Sampling and consistency: Guidance to achieve reproducible measurements across different operators and facilities.
- Identification and documentation: Requirements for recording measured dimensions and communicating them in commercial and technical documentation.
- Note: EN 1309-1 is part of the CEN/European framework for timber measurement and is adopted as national standards (e.g., SIST EN 1309-1:2000).
Applications
EN 1309-1 is practical for organizations and professionals who need reliable, comparable timber dimension data:
- Sawmills and timber producers - standardize in-plant measurement and reporting.
- Timber merchants and wholesalers - verify incoming and outgoing stock dimensions.
- Quality control and inspection - implement consistent measurement procedures for acceptance testing.
- Procurement and contracts - specify measurement rules in purchase orders and specifications to avoid disputes.
- Engineers, architects and builders - reference standardized dimensions when designing or specifying timber components.
- Standards bodies and conformity assessment - align national practices with European measurement methods.
Related standards
EN 1309-1 forms part of a broader set of European standards addressing timber measurement, classification and grading. Users often consult complementary EN and national standards covering round timber, grading rules, moisture content measurement and product specifications to fully manage timber production and trade.
