BS EN 14229:2010EN 14229:2010 (E) 5 Introduction Poles for overhead lines are not covered by EN 1995-1-1 (i.e. Eurocode 5), which is for the design of buildings and civil engineering structures. The supplier is always responsible that all products supplied
26、 are in conformity with the requirements of this European Standard and any other specification he is provided with. This European Standard is for the initial determination of the characteristic values for a given population of wood poles (i.e. initial type testing), and additional determination when
27、 there is a reason to suspect that the characteristic values for a population have reduced. As far as empirical characteristic values are existing they can be used. Annex E presents some typical minimum characteristic values for wood poles. Furthermore, this standard provides also for requirements o
28、n the factory production control with production tolerances to enable the manufacturer of this population of wood poles to be in conformity with the declared characteristic values, derived from the initial type testing. This European Standard recognises that there are many different visual strength
29、grading rules for timber in use in Europe. These have come into existence to allow for: different species or groups of species; geographic origin; different dimensional requirements; varying requirements for different uses; the quality of material available; historic influences or traditions. Becaus
30、e of the diversity of existing standards for wood poles for overhead lines in use in different Member States it is currently impossible to lay down a single set of acceptable visual grading rules for all Member States. This European Standard therefore gives the basic principles to be followed when d
31、rawing up regional, national, local or buyer requirements for some characteristics and sets limits for others. In laying down visual grading rules, two main factors are relevant: they clearly define and limit the additional characteristics in poles so that there is a very high confidence that poles
32、supplied meet the required characteristic strength value; the rules and the text can be easily understood and be suitable for implementation by grading personnel. This European Standard is also concerned with the durability characteristics of wood poles for overhead power and telecommunication lines
33、. It assumes that all such poles are constructed from round timber in which the finished product comprises either a central core of heartwood surrounded by a zone of sapwood or the heartwood only. NOTE Some timber (e.g. abies alba and picea abies) do not allow differentiation between heartwood and s
34、apwood. EN 351-1 specifies how such timber should be treated when preservation is required. For such species there may be different requirements for the incised zone and other parts of the pole. BS EN 14229:2010EN 14229:2010 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard covers requirements for single untreat
35、ed or preservative treated wood poles for overhead lines under cantilever or compression loading (it does not cover poles used as beams). It covers test methods, determination of characteristic values and methods of specifying durability and sizes. It also establishes principles for visual grading.
36、This European Standard applies to both softwood and hardwood poles. This European Standard specifies the evaluation of conformity requirements and the marking of wood poles. This European Standard does not specify wood poles treated against fire to improve their fire performance. This European Stand
37、ard does not quantify the service life that may be expected from a wood pole. NOTE The service life of a wood pole depends on its geographical location, the associated climate of its service environment and either the natural durability of the heartwood of the species selected, or the combination be
38、tween selection of species, preservative type, and requirements of retention and any incised zones. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
