Description
This Standard is applicable to solid wood and wood-based products.
It defines five use classes that represent different service situations to which wood and wood-based products can be exposed.
It also indicates the biological agents relevant to each situation.
Scope
This Standard gives general definitions of use classes for different service situations and is relevant to solid wood and wood-based products. This will help the users to choose the wood products as per their requirements.
Fungi, insects and marine borers affect both wood and wood-based products in different ways. The significance of attack by these agents can be different for solid wood and wood-based products. The consequence of wood and wood-based products being exposed to service conditions defined by the various use classes will vary depending upon their reactions to different wetting regimes.
This Standard gives information on the biological agents that can attack wood and wood-based products in defined situations.
