EVS-EN 14298:2005

This present European standard defines a method of assessment of drying quality. It applies to lots of dried sawn timber or to dried timber which has been planed or surfaced by other means. It applies to both softwood and hardwood with a thickness not greater than 100 mm. Other quality features which are related to drying, e.g. checking, distortions, stain, etc., are specified in standards for visual grading of sawn timber or in product specifications and are not covered by this standard.
