Structural timber - Strength classes - Assignment of visual grades and species

This document lists visual strength grades, species and sources of timber, and specifies the strength classes from EN 338, to which they are assigned.
NOTE   For the grades, species and sources included, there is long experience of use and/or satisfactory test data. The sources listed are therefore largely determined by existing commercial practice.

Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Festigkeitsklassen - Zuordnung von visuellen Sortierklassen und Holzarten

Dieses Dokument gibt visuelle Festigkeitsklassen, Holzarten und deren Herkunft an und legt die Festigkeits-klassen nach EN 338 fest, denen sie zugeordnet sind.
ANMERKUNG   Für die angegebenen Sortierklassen, Holzarten und Herkünfte liegen langjährige praktische Erfahrungen und/oder befriedigende Prüfdaten vor. Die angegebene Herkunft orientiert sich daher weitestgehend an der gewerblichen Praxis.

Bois de structure - Classes de résistance - Affectation des classes visuelles et des essences

Le présent document répertorie les classes visuelles de résistance, les essences et les origines de bois et spécifie les classes de résistance, fixées par l’EN 338, auxquelles elles se rapportent.
NOTE   Pour les classes, essences et origines d’approvisionnement incluses, on doit pouvoir justifier d’une grande expérience d’utilisation et/ou de données d’essais satisfaisantes. Les origines sont donc largement déterminées par la pratique commerciale existante.

1 Scope This document lists visual strength grades, species and sources of timber, and specifies the strength classes from EN 338, to which they are assigned. NOTE For the grades, species and sources included, there is long experience of use and/or satisfactory test data. The sources listed are therefore largely determined by existing commercial practice. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 384, Structural timber — Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density #EN 14081 (all parts), Timber structures — Strength graded structural timber with rectangular cross section$ 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 timber source geographical area of growth of the trees from which the timber is sawn 3.2 timber species individual species or combination of species 3.3 Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden 4 Symbols and abbreviations CNE Europe

EN 1912:2004+A4:2010 (E) 5 5 Requirements 5.1 The grades referred to in Tables 1 and 2 shall be in accordance with a grading standard meeting the requirements of #EN 14081$. 5.2 Timber of a grade, species and source may be assigned to a strength class and listed in this document provided there is long experience of use and/or test data in accordance with EN 384. NOTE 1 Where the required information becomes available for a grade, species and source not included in this document, preliminary assignment to a strength class, pending revision of this document, may be obtained from
CEN/TC 124. NOTE 2 The assignments of grades, species and sources to strength classes given in this document should be reassessed when this document is reviewed, or sooner if there is reason to suspect that the mechanical properties and/or density of the timber have changed, or the basis for the existing assessment no longer represents the current situation, e.g. if there has been a change in the source. 6 Assignments to strength classes Timber grades, species and sources listed, meet the requirements of the strength classes to which they are assigned in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 3 and Table 4 identify the botanical species for the commercial names listed in Table 1 and Table 2. NOTE 1 Timber graded by machine to #EN 14081$ may be graded directly to the strength classes and marked accordingly, and is therefore not referenced in this document. NOTE 2 For combinations of species and visual grades, which meet the requirements of #EN 14081$, but are not listed in this standard, the assignment to strength classes can be made according to EN 338 using characteristic values determined in accordance with EN 384.
