Strength Classes
Visual strength grading is a slower process than machine grading. The visual grader, however, can be more flexible and is invaluable where a relatively small parcel of timber needs grading. In the event of a dispute, a visual grader may be able to confirm the strength grade of timber already and in-situ.
Solid timber strength classes are defined in BS EN 338 Structural Timber. A strength class is a variety of species/strength grade combinations that have similar values.
• BS EN 338 includes six strength classes for Hardwoods, D30 - D70
