EN 338 Structural Timber - Strength Classes Test Method

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 338 testing. This European standard establishes a system of strength classes for general use in design codes.

EN 338 Structural Timber - Strength Classes Test Method

It gives characteristic strength and hardness properties and density values ​​for each class to which EN 14081-1 refers. This standard is applicable to all soft and hardwood timber for structural use.

The strength class system brings together grades, types and sources with similar strength characteristics, making them interchangeable. This then allows an engineer to specify a selected strength class and use the characteristic strength values ​​of that class in design calculations.

The characteristic values ​​of flexural or tensile strength, mean modulus of elasticity in bending or tensile and density for the relevant population shall be determined according to EN 384. Other strength and hardness properties and average density values ​​are determined according to EN 384.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN 338 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
