Requirements are also given for timber, adhesive, moisture content, cutting, bonding, preservative treatments and flame-retardant treatments.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.This Standard does not cover impressed (die-formed) joints. In the case of glued laminated timber it applies only to individual laminations.
