18、ruction, and timber quality and grading, for which it specifies: a) two grades for 38 mm thick scaffold boards, as follows:1) 1.2 m support centre a grade that is suitable for support at centres up to 1.2 m, which may be selected by visual or machine strength grading;2) 1.5 m support centre a grade
19、that is suitable for support at centres up to 1.5 m, which may only be selected by machine strength grading.b) a single grade for 63 mm thick scaffold boards that is suitable for support at centres up to 2.5 m, which may be selected by visual or machine strength grading.This British Standard does no
20、t cover laminated or finger-jointed scaffold boards.NOTE Annex A provides information on performance characteristics. Annex B provides information on support centres.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references,

32、r than 20% up to 27%; andb) decrease by 0.25% for every 1% of moisture content lower than 20%.A finished scaffold board shall be of the length described by the supplier, with a tolerance of 25 mm, except in the case of boards of basic length greater than 3.9 m, for which the tolerance on length shal
33、l be 50 mm.NOTE 1 If more precise lengths than those specifi ed are required for system (prefabricated) scaffolds, the tolerances should be those defi ned as acceptable by the scaffold manufacturer.NOTE 2 Crosscutting is permissible as this does not affect the structural integrity of the board. For
34、visually graded boards, all defects will have been visually assessed. For machine graded boards, the board will have been mechanically assessed along its length.6 Construction6.1 GeneralThe face surface shall be sawn, edges shall be sawn or planed, and corners shall be left square.
