23、 Copy, (c) BSI5 4 Rules for grading 4.1 General rules The grade of a piece of timber is based on the judgement of grade on each face/side separately. If all four sides are of the same grade, this is the grade of the piece. If one of the faces is of a lower grade than any of the other three sides, th
24、e grade of the piece is one grade better than the grade of this worse face. If one of the edges has the lowest grade among the four sides, this lowest grade is the grade of the piece. This standard only defines the lower limit of each grade. Any parcel of poplar supplied graded to these rules shall
25、contain an even distribution of quality. The conformity of a batch of sawn timber shall be assessed according to ENV 12169, unless stated otherwise. 4.2 Determination of features 4.2.1 General Features are measured according to EN 1310. 4.2.2 Knots Knots shall be assessed with regard to form, positi
26、on and condition: Knots of 8 mm or less are not considered unless unsound / loose ; Round/oval knots on faces are to be measured in accordance with clause 4.1.1 of EN 1310:1997 including the compensation rule; Round/oval knots on edges are to be measured in accordance with clause 4.1.2 of EN 1310:19
27、97. NOTE 1 An intergrown knot may appear as a partially intergrown knot or a dead knot on the opposite face. NOTE 2 A partially intergrown knot may appear as an intergrown knot or a dead knot on the opposite face. NOTE 3 A dead knot may appear as an intergrown knot or a partially intergrown knot on
28、the opposite face. 4.2.3 Wane Wane with bark is not permitted.
