This standard gives the requirements for assessing and operating machine strength grading systems, to strength grade structural timber, and laminates forglulam. NOTE: Whilst it is permitted to use this standard to determine machine settings and to grade to any possible strength profile for a given species, this standard refers to the strength classes of EN 338 to provide suitable strength profiles and dictate the visual override requirements, necessary to make machine grading to this standard possible.
