Specifies poles suitable for electricity transmission and telecommunications purposes with or without full-length preservative treatment and, where required, gives preservative types and retentions required. The Standard also sets out requirements for pole identification as well as means for demonstrating compliance. Appendices include a test for differentiating sapwood and heartwood in softwoods; and example systems for process quality monitoring and purchaser treatment quality checks.

This Standard sets out requirements for timber poles intended primarily for use in overhead lines for electrical distribution and telecommunications purposes with or without full-length preservative treatment.This Standard does not cover requirements for strength and dimensions and these should be separately specified.
