Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
This International Standard sets out a framework for establishing characteristic values from test results
on a sample drawn from a clearly defined reference population of sawn timber. The characteristic value
is an estimate of the property of the reference population with a consistent level of confidence prescribed
in the standard.
This part of ISO 12122 is to be used in conjunction with ISO 12122-1.
This part of ISO 12122 permits the evaluation of characteristic values on testing on commercial sized
specimens of sawn timber.
This part of ISO 12122 is applicable to structural sawn timber. In some cases, characteristic values
determined in accordance with this part of ISO 12122 can be modified to become a design value.
This part of ISO 12122 has the following annexes:

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12122-2:2014(E)
Timber structures — Determination of characteristic
values —
Part 2:
Sawn timber
1 Scope
This International Standard gives methods for the determination of characteristic values for a defined
population of sawn timber products, calculated from test values.
It presents methods for the determination of
a) characteristic value of mean-based properties, and
b) characteristic value of 5th percentile-based properties.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 12122-1, Timber structures — Determination of characteristic values — Part 1: Basic requirements
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12122-1 apply.
4 Symbols and abbreviated terms
Symbols defined in the relevant ISO product or test standard shall be used. Other symbols are defined
in ISO 12122-1.
5 Reference Population
In addition to the requirements for definition of the reference population in ISO 12122-1, the following
attributes of sawn timber may be described:
a) climate or climate range of growing region;
b) altitude or altitude range of growing region;
c) specific silvicultural practices used in the growing region;
d) soil type or range of soil types of growing region;
e) sawing patterns (e.g. backsawn or quartersawn, core wood included or excluded);
f) seasoning method (if seasoned);
g) grading or production method.

6 Sampling
6.1 Sampling method
The sampling method shall comply with the performance objective of sampling defined in ISO 12122-1.
Representation of each of the variants in the sample shall approximate the representation of the same
variants in the reference population.
The sampling method shall be documented in the report as detailed in Clause 10 and this documentation
shall indicate a response to each of the identified attributes of the reference population listed in
compliance with Clause 5 in this part of ISO 12122 and in ISO 12122-1.
6.2 Sample size
The sample size shall comply with requirements of ISO 12122-1 and shall take into account the coefficient
of variation (V) expected for the sawn timber in the reference population.
NOTE 1 See notes under the relevant clause in ISO 12122-1.
Sawn timber properties generally have larger population coefficient of variation (V), and should
therefore have a larger sample size.
NOTE 2 ISO 12122-1 gives some guidance on selecting sample size.
7 Sample conditioning
The sample storage and testing environment shall refl
