This standard specifies requirements for bonded finger joints and minimum requirements for the manufacture of cut,
interlocking, bonded finger joints in structural timber members. Requirements are given for timber, adhesive, moisture
content, cutting and bonding.
This standard is only applicable to finger joints between timber members of the same species type.
Although most finger joints are produced in coniferous species this standard also applies to broad-leaved species
where information is available to enable them to be satisfactorily bonded.
It does not cover impressed (die-formed) joints. In the case of glued laminated timber it applies only to individual
laminations. Large finger joints in glued laminated timber are covered by EN 387.
N~TE This standard is elaborated as a supporting standard for a harmonized standard on structural timber with finger joints to be
published in the future.
