This Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of timber of visual and/or mechanical strength grades. A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample against its designated value. The value determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338.
