Special notes
1 Reference standards that may be used for test method determination.
ISO 8905:1988 Sawn timber – Test methods – Determination of ultimate strength in shearing parallel to grain.
Determines the maximum load causing the test piece made of coniferous and broadleaved sawn timber to break by shearing as a result of compressive stresses, and calculates the stress at this load. Reference is made to ISO 3130.
ISO 8906:1988 Sawn timber – Test methods – Determination of resistance to local transverse compression.
This method is based on the load proportional limit and the load at a defined defo rmation which are given in the ‘load/deflection’ curve. Stresses at these loads are calculated. Testing of small defect-free test pieces of wood is not covered.

ISO 12580:2007 Timber structures – Glued laminated timber – Methods of test for glue-line delamination .
Specifies five delamination methods for factory quality assurance of the glue line of glued laminated timber.
ISO 8375:2009 Timber structures – Glued laminated timber – Test methods for determination of physical and mechanical properties.
Specifies test methods for determining the following characteristic values of glued laminated timber: modulus of elasticity in bending, shear modulus, bending strength, modulus of elasticity in tension parallel to the grain, tension strength parallel to the grain, modulus of elasticity in compression parallel to the grain, compression strength parallel to the grain, modulus of elasticity in tension perpendicular to the grain, tension strength perpendicular to the grain, modulus of elasticity in compression perpendicular to the grain, compression strength perpendicular to the grain and shear strength.
In addition, the determination of dimensions, moisture content, and density are specified. The methods apply to rectangular shapes of glued laminated timber.

3 Competence must be demonstrated for
– a minimum of three different species or laminated configurations of timber
– using a minimum of two different quantitative assessment tests from the reference standards noted in special note 1.
Element 1
Select boatbuilding timber for testing.
Performance criteria
1.1 Boatbuilding timber is selected for testing in accordance with selected reference standards.
Element 2

Performance criteria
2.1 Tests are carried out in accordance with selected reference standards.
2.2 Test results are recorded in accordance with selected reference standards.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
