NF EN ISO 12777-2 : 2000

Determination of the resistance of pallet staples and nails to axial load by specifying test methods for determining: a) characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (for wood to wood-based materials and wood to non-wood-based materials, such as plastics; b) characteristics and maximum load for axially loaded nailed or stapled joints (wood to wood). These methods apply to joints with all types of nails up to 7 mm in diameter (including square, plain round shank, twisted, fluted, helical and annular threaded) and may also be suitable for other fasteners such as wood staples.
