This International Standard specifies a method, based on density, for the selection of pieces of wood used in
determining the strength and stiffness properties of connections made with mechanical fasteners.
It is assumed the wood density is normally distributed and that any deviations are reported.
This International Standard is applicable only to specimens of wood.
