Posted By RP The 1981 Standard provides the conditions for selection and testing of timber for the purpose of being a scaffold board. 1. Grade A timber - Virtually knot free and free from other timber defects, shakes, star shakes, cupping, etc. 2. Stress graded for strength and durability. 3. Nominal thickness, ie 38mm, etc. Apparently, only 30% of scaffold boards brought are to the BS Standard.
