European foreword
This document (EN 14081-2:2018+A1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124
“Timber structures”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2022, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by December 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 13 March 2022.
This document supersedes !EN 14081-2:2018".
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
Compared to EN 14081-2:2010+A1:2012, the following main modifications have been made:
— new definitions added in Clause 3;
— new requirements for sampling, settings areas and minimum cross-section area;
— introduction of standardized areas;
— method for deriving settings is no longer normative, since several methods may be used; an example
of a method is given in Annex B;
— new method for verification of settings;
— cost matrix requirements are changed, to better allow settings that aim for reduced reject rather than
yield in the highest grade;
— new method for output control systems;
— introduction of adaptive settings;
— introduction of fixed settings.
This standard is part of a series of standards on Timber structures — Strength graded structural timber
with rectangular cross section ("EN 14081") that includes:
— Part 1: General requirements;
— Part 2: Machine grading; additional requirements for type testing;
— Part 3: Machine grading; additional requirements for factory production control.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia
