EN 14229 Structural Wood - Test for Wooden Poles for Overhead Lines

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 14229 testing. This standard specifies requirements for single untreated or pre-treated wooden poles for cantilever or overhead lines under compression loading.

It covers test methods, determination of characteristic values ​​and methods of determining durability and size. It also sets principles for visual grading.

This European Standard applies to both softwood and hardwood posts.

This European Standard specifies the assessment of conformity requirements and the marking of wooden posts.

This European Standard does not specify fire-treated wooden poles to improve their fire performance.

This European Standard does not quantify the service life that can be expected from a wooden pole.

The service life of a wood post depends on its geographical location, the relevant climate of the service environment, and either the inherent durability of the heartwood of the selected species or a combination between species selection, preservative type, and storage and storage requirements.
