Specifies natural durability ratings for timber species, for use by producers and users of timber products, and includes an authoritative source of information on the natural durability of timber. Suitable for use as a reference by other Standards.

This Standard provides natural durability ratings for a range of biological hazards for a number of Australian and imported species. NOTES: 1 An attempt has been made to account for the more aggressive termite of the northern areas of Australia and to account for the increased durability achieved for timbers not in contact with the ground. 2 This Standard does not provide natural durability ratings against the following hazards: (a) Physical or mechanical hazards.(b) Chemical hazards.(c) Fire hazards.(d) Marine hazard.
