This standard applies for structural round wood timber other than specified in EN 12509. This test standard specifies test methods for determining the following properties of structural round timber; the bending strength, modulus of elasticity in bending; the compressive strength parallel to the grain and modulus of elasticity in compression parallel to the grain.In addition, the determination of dimensions, moisture content and density is specified. The methods apply to debarked round timber. This standard is not intended for quality-control test purposes.
