The classification applies for the following species: sessile oak (Quercus sessiliflora SALISB. or Quercus petraea LIEBL.), common oak (Quercus robur L. or Quercus pedunculata EHRH.) and beech (Fagus sylvatica L). This standard is one of a series of standards concerning round timber (softwoods and hardwoods). EN 1316 "Hardwood round timber " consists of: - Part 1: Oak and beech; - Part 2: Poplar; - Part 3: Ash and maples and sycamore.
