Full title and description

ISO 2299:1973 — Sawn timber of broadleaved species — Defects — Classification. International standard defining a classification system for visible defects in sawn hardwood (broadleaved) timber; issued as a trilingual edition (English, French, Russian).

Abstract

This standard provides definitions and a classification scheme for defects in sawn timber of broadleaved (hardwood) species. It applies to unplaned sawn timber and timber surfaced to size or planed without profiling, and is intended to support consistent grading, inspection and communication about visible defects in timber principally used in temperate-zone markets.

Scope

Specifies terms and a defect-classification scheme for sawn timber of broadleaved species. The scope covers unplaned sawn timber and timber surfaced to size or planed without profiling, and is aimed at providing a harmonized basis for identifying, describing and classifying visible defects that affect appearance and/or suitability for particular end uses (for example knots, shakes, splits, decay, and wane). The standard is principally oriented to timber produced and used in temperate climatic zones.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized terminology for defects in sawn broadleaved timber (references related terms to ISO 1031 where appropriate).
• Classification categories for common visible defects: knots (sound and unsound), shakes and splits, checks, wane, decay/rot, stain and other appearance faults.
• Description of defect severity or extent criteria used to assign classification grades (visual assessment guidance to support consistent inspection).
• Application to unplaned and surfaced-to-size timber rather than profiled or moulded products.
• Intended use as a reference for grading, procurement, inspection, and communication between producers, traders and users of sawn hardwoods.

These topics are summarized from the standard’s classification and abstract information.

Typical use and users

Used by sawmills, timber graders and inspectors, wood products manufacturers (furniture, flooring, joinery), timber merchants, procurement/specification engineers, forestry agencies and national standards bodies. The standard is a practical reference for anyone needing consistent visual classification of defects in hardwood sawn timber for quality control, grading or purchasing.

Related standards

Closely related documents include ISO 1031 (terminology related to timber products) and other ISO standards in the timber/wood products series that address defect measurement and grading (companion standards in the ISO 2300–2310 range and related timber standards). National grading standards and regional specifications typically reference ISO 2299 for classification terminology.
