12、ds 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 organi
13、zations, 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in
14、 the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 %
15、of the member bodies casting a vote. 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. ISO 15206 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 165, Timber

ISO 15206:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard covers the requirements for grading and assignment of characteristic values that can be used for the design of timber poles used as cantilevers and/or in compression. It is the responsibility of the
17、 supplier to always ensure that all products supplied are in conformity with the requirements of this International Standard and any other specification with which they are provided. This International Standard is intended for the initial determination of the characteristic values for a given popula
18、tion of poles and additional determination when there is a reason to suspect that the characteristics of a population have changed. This International Standard recognizes that there are many different visual strength-grading rules for timber in use internationally. These have come into existence to
19、allow for different species or groups of species, geographic origin, different dimensional requirements, varying requirements for different uses, the quality of material available, and historical influences or traditions. Because of the diversity of existing standards for wood poles for overhead lin
20、es in use in different countries, it is impossible to lay down a single set of acceptable visual grading rules. This International Standard therefore gives the basic principles to be followed when drawing up regional, national, local or buyer requirements for some characteristics and sets limits for
21、 others. In laying down visual grading rules, two main factors are relevant: they shall clearly define and limit the strength-affecting characteristics in poles, such that there is very high confidence that poles supplied meet the required characteristic strength value; the rules and the text are su
22、ch that they can be easily understood and be suitable for implementation by grading personnel. This International Standard is also concerned with the durability characteristics of wood poles for overhead power and telecommunication lines. It assumes that all such poles are constructed from round tim
23、ber in which the finished product comprises either a central core of heartwood surrounded by a zone of sapwood or the heartwood only. Such assumptions dictate that where sapwood is present, preservative treatment is normally required in order to provide the poles with sufficient enhanced durability,
24、 unless the amount of sapwood present is such that its loss would not compromise the integrity of the pole during its service life and the heartwood has sufficient natural durability as required by this International Standard. Some timber species do not allow an easy differentiation between heartwoo
25、d and sapwood. Various standards provide recommendations to address this problem; for example, EN 351-1 and AS 2209:1994 (Appendix D) specify the method of treatment of such timber when preservation is required.

26、c requirements and test methods 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements for grading, test methods, determination of characteristic values, methods of specifying durability and sizes of single poles manufactured from solid timber for telecommunications and electrical distributi
27、on purposes, either preservative treated or untreated, under cantilever or compression loading. It specifies the: methods of measuring the sizes of solid wood poles for overhead transmission and telecommunication lines and permissible deviations that are taken into account for the acceptance of the
28、poles; requirements for handling and the characteristics for visual strength grading of softwood and hardwood poles, as well as the marking requirements; methods of test to determine characteristic values for modulus of elasticity and bending strength of any population of wood poles and moisture con
29、tent of solid wood poles; requirements for durability and preservative treatment of wood poles. This International Standard is applicable to both softwood and hardwood poles. This International Standard does not quantify the service life that can be expected from a pole. NOTE This depends on its geo
30、graphical location, the associated climate of its service environment and either the natural durability of the heartwood of the species selected or the combination between selection of species, preservative type, and requirements of retention and any incised zones. It is not applicable to poles used
31、 as beams. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
