Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".

Drafting.

This document replaces GB/T 14019-2009 "Terminology for Wood Preservation". Compared with GB/T 14019-2009, the only changes are structural adjustments and editing.

Aside from the sexual alterations, the main technical changes are as follows.

---Changed the basic terminology to include "coniferous wood", "broadleaf wood", "bamboo", "plywood", "fiberboard", "low-density fiberboard", and "medium-density fiberboard".

Fiberboard, high-density fiberboard, particleboard, oriented strand board, structural wood composites, engineered wood, laminated veneer lumber.

Laminated Veneer Strip Lumber, Laminated Wood Shavings Lumber, Wood-Plastic Composite Lumber, Green Wood, Growth Rings, Earlywood, Latewood, Sapwood, Heartwood, Wood "Wood density", "wood permeability", "wood moisture content", "absolute moisture content", "relative moisture content", "fiber saturation point", "equilibrium moisture content" Definitions (see Chapter 3, 2009 edition, 3.1.1~3.1.3, 3.1.5~3.1.12, 3.1.14~3.1.18, 3.1.20, 3.1.27~) 3.1.31, 3.1.33~3.1.37);
