EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of AS/NZS 1748.1 standard. The AS/NZS 1748.1 standard, an Australian-New Zealand standard, provides the stress rating of structural timber using any rating method.
It relies on the following principles to demonstrate the performance of the stress-rated structural product:
This document provides background and guidance to support the use of the following Australia-New Zealand Standards package:
Background information forms the basis of the Standards and can be quite technical in some places. It is not necessary to understand all the background to be able to use the standards effectively.
The ultimate performance requirement of wood is that it should meet all necessary structural and usage characteristics. Verification according to AS/NZS 4490 provides assurance that it meets the usage requirements and two structural features. Steps taken in the grading method provide confidence that untested structural features are also suitable, once the suitability of two structural features has been proven.
To use the Standards package, an introductory understanding of some statistical concepts is required. While this is strictly background information, it is recommended that all people planning to use the Standards check if they are familiar with the concepts outlined in this section.
