Full title and description

ISO 1030:1975 — Coniferous sawn timber — Defects — Measurement. International Standard (Edition 1, December 1975) that specifies defect classification and measurement methods for coniferous sawn timber in specified surface conditions; published in a trilingual edition (English / French / Russian) and available in PDF and paper formats.

Abstract

Defines the measurement of defects in coniferous sawn timber based on the defect classification given in ISO 1029 and uses terms and definitions specified in ISO 1031. It applies to unplaned sawn timber and to timber surfaced to size or planed but without profiling; the published abstract describes the document as a trilingual edition replacing R 1030.
