FOREWORD

(Formal clauses will be added later)

A major proportion of non-coniferous timber is marketed in the form of baulks and scantlings
which are sometimes used, as they are, and sometimes further converted for various end uses.
A standard which would guide the selection of non-coniferous timber was considered essential
in view of the large quantity of timber produced and the variety of timber involved. This
specification is intended to meet that purpose.

This standard was first published in 1958 and further revised in 1976 and 1992. In this revision,
following modifications have been incorporated;

1) Sampling and criteria for conformity has been added,

2) BIS certification marking clause has been updated, and
3) Cross-reference of the standards have been updated.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( second
revision )’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same
as that of the specified value in this standard.

5.2.2 Width and Thickness

The width and thickness shall be measured the narrowest place in millimetre correct 10 mm.

5.2.3 Volume

The volume shall be computed in cubic metres correct to three places of decimal by the product

6 REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING

6.1 Grading

The non-coniferous sawn timber shall be of three grades, that is, Special Grade, Grade 1 and
Grade 2, depending upon prohibited and permissible defects (see 7).

6.2 Requirements

6.2.1 Timber shall be air-seasoned to a moisture content not exceeding 20 percent within a
depth of 13 mm from the surface, excluding 300 mm from each end.

6.2.2 Timber shall be either sawn or axe-hewn. Any axe-hewn timber shall be reasonably even.
All pieces shall have fairly straight and parallel sides and rectangular cross sections.

7 PROHIBITED AND PERMISSIBLE DEFECTS

7.1 Prohibited Defects

The sawn timber of all the three grades shall be free from spiral or twisted grain, warp, any kind
of decay or live insect attack. Special grade sawn timber shall be free from centre heart, wane,
