What is ISO 16696-1 about?
ISO 16696-1 is the first part of multiple series that establishes the basic principles for component performance and minimum production requirements for cross-laminated timber (CLT). ISO 16696-1 is applicable to CLT products which are manufactured from solid-sawn timber or wood-based panels built up of at least three layers in which the grain of adjoining layers is at right angles to each other.
ISO 16696-1 provides CLT dimension tolerances; component requirements; performance criteria; production, testing and trademarking guidance; and minimum requirements for factory production control. This document is based on known species, species combination and/or wood-based panel structural performance and bondability.
NOTE- ISO 16696-1 doesn’t include how CLT is to be used and installed.
