12、(E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 1927-2:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 175 “Round and sawn timber”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement,
13、 at the latest by September 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2008. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identify
14、ing any or all such patent rights. This document will supersede ENV 1927-2:1998. EN 1927 consists of the following parts with the main title Qualitative classification of softwood round timber: EN 1927-1, Spruces and firs EN 1927-2, Pines EN 1927-3, Larches and Douglas fir According to the CEN/CENEL
15、EC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembo

BS EN 1927-2:2008EN 1927-2:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the qualitative classification for the roundwood of pines. It applies to Scots pine (Pinus
17、 sylvestris), Corsican or Austrian pine (Pinus nigra), maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata). The classification is made either using Clauses 4 and 5 or using Annex A. Clauses 4 and 5 describe the qualitative classification of round timber for which the intended use is unkn
18、own. Informative Annex A gives a list of characteristics which serves as a guideline for contracts describing qualities for round timber of pines where the intended use is known. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

BS EN 1927-2:2008EN 1927-2:2008 (E) 5 4 Qualitative classification for which the intended use is unknown The qualitative grading has four classes: A, B, C and D. The grading is based on the following general description of quality classe
25、s: Quality class A First quality timber. Generally corresponding to a butt log with clear timber, without defects or with only minor defects and with few restrictions to its use. Quality class B Timber of average to first quality, with no specific requirements for clear wood. Knots are permitted to
26、such an extent as is considered to be average for each species. Quality class C Timber of average to low quality, allowing all quality characteristics which do not seriously reduce the natural characteristics of the wood. Quality class D Timber which can be sawn into usable wood, which, because of i
27、ts characteristics, falls into none of the quality classes A, B or C. The classes are defined more precisely in Table 1. All the listed qualitative characteristics in Table 1 shall be taken into account when a class is assigned, and measurements shall be made according to EN 1309-2, EN 1310 and EN 1
28、311. This classification shall be completed with the Latin name of specified species. The abbreviation of this Latin name can also be used instead of the full name. EXAMPLE 1 Scots pine: Pinus sylvestris class B or PINS-B1. EXAMPLE 2 Corsican or Austrian pine: Pinus nigra class B or PINN-B1. EXAMPLE

35、width of reaction wood as a function of the cross section diameter (in addition to EN 1310). d Mid diameter under bark. e Initial stages of Trypodendron lineatum attack permitted. f Small areas of surface rot are permitted in the area of the butt swelling. g Specific contract regulations are recomme
36、nded. 6 Additional criteria In case of doubt, any externally visible or possible hidden flaws (e.g. knots under buckles, overgrown shakes, stripping damage) shall be laid bare and the revealed flaws assessed according to the quality specifications. Foreign bodies (e.g. shrapnel) are not dealt with i
37、n this standard. Where some characteristics of roundwood of the classes A and B do not fulfil the quality criteria on agreement, they can be compensated by higher quality in other characteristics. Generally, the following characteristics cannot be compensated: insect attack (especially Trypodendron
38、lineatum), rot and stain. If there is compensation for minor rot of little consequence, an agreement is necessary. Each log can be graded either in a single class or in more than one class by using theoretical crosscut points. The minimum length, accepted for a theoretical crosscut point, is 3 m for
39、 Scots pine, Corsican or Austrian pine and radiata pine, and 2 m for maritime pine. BS EN 1927-2:2008EN 1927-2:2008 (E) 8 Annex A (informative) Qualitative classification for which the intended use is known The following list of characteristics should be considered for contracts where the intended u
40、se is known. EN 1309-2, EN 1310 and EN 1311 shall be used as a reference. NOTE The following list is not exhaustive. Additional characteristics may be considered. butt swelling; eccentric pith; foreign body; insect attack; knots; rate of growth; reaction wood; resin pocket; rot; shakes; spiral grain
41、; stain; sweep; taper; tapping cut; undercut.

This European Standard
42、does not fall under any Directive of the EU. In the relevant CEN/ CENELEC countries these A- deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the European Standard until they have been removed.
