本欧洲标准规定了确定结构木材和胶合层压木材的以下性能的试验方法:弯曲弹性模量;剪切模量;抗弯强度;平行于颗粒的张力弹性模量;拉力与粮食平行;平行于颗粒的压缩弹性模量;压缩强度平行于颗粒;垂直于颗粒的张力弹性模量;垂直于谷物的张力;垂直于颗粒的压缩弹性模量;压缩强度垂直于晶粒和剪切强度。 另外，规定了试件的尺寸，含水量和密度的确定。 这些方法适用于固体非接缝木材或指接木材和胶合层压木材的矩形和圆形（截面基本恒定），除非另有说明

This European Standard specifies test methods for determining the following properties of structural timber and glued laminated timber: modulus of elasticity in bending; shear modulus; bending strength; modulus of elasticity in tension parallel to the grain; tension strength parallel to the grain; modulus of elasticity in compression parallel to the grain; compression strength parallel to the grain; modulus of elasticity in tension perpendicular to the grain; tension strength perpendicular to the grain; modulus of elasticity in compression perpendicular to the grain; compression strength perpendicular to the grain and shear strength. In addition, the determination of dimensions, moisture content, and density of test pieces are specified. The methods apply to rectangular and circular shapes (of substantially constant cross section) of solid unjointed timber or finger-jointed timber and glued laminated timber unless stated otherwise.
