BS 6446 : 1997
Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared by Subcommittee B/518/3, Glued laminated
timber. It supersedes BS 6446 : 1984, which is withdrawn.
This edition of BS 6446 has been revised to take account of the deletion of
BS 1204 : Part 1, and its replacement by BS EN 301. This affects the scope, 6.3 and 7.1.
The climate conditions given in the previous edition have been replaced by the
corresponding `service classes' referred to in DD ENV 1995-1-1 and BS 5268 : Part 2
(see list of standards on the inside back cover). Other minor revisions have been made
to accommodate the revision or deletion of the standards referred to in this 1997
edition of this standard. The contents of the standard have in parts been re-arranged to
reflect more closely component manufacturing processes, and annex A has been
re-written so that it is compatible with related European standards.
When the original edition of this standard was prepared, the only woodbased panels
for which design stresses were available (from BS 5268 : Part 2) were plywood and
tempered hardboard. Both BS 5268 : Part 2 and DD ENV 1995-1-1 now recognize design
stresses for other types of woodbased panel, and this term has been substituted for
`plywood' and/or `tempered hardboard'.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
