BS EN ISO 12777-2:2000

Determination of the resistance of pallet staples and nails to axial load by specifying test methods for determining: a) characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (for wood to wood-based materials and wood to non-wood-based materials, such as plastics; b) characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (wood to wood). These methods apply to joints with all types of nails up to 7 mm in diameter (including square, plain round shank, twisted, fluted, helical and annular threaded) and may also be suitable for other fasteners such as wood staples.

This part of ISO12777 specifies methods of determining the resistance of pallet nails and staples to axial load by specifying test methods for determining: characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (wood to wood); characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (for wood to wood-based materials and wood to non-wood-based materials, such as plastics). These test methods apply to joints with all types of nails up to 7mm in diameter (including plain round shank, square, fluted, twisted, helical and annular threaded) and may also be suitable for other fasteners such as wood staples.
